thanks for the info....glad to know that a promising study will be available within 5yrs....yeah i will update my viral load after 3 weeks....how long will i take interferon?are you hbeag negative?are you taking antivirals now?
if you are e-negative with viral load that continues you need treatment. Do another viral load measure in 2 - 3 weeks and see what is happening with viral kinetics. If your viral load is still up or higher treatment is necessary. Those of us with e- negative hep B have a more severe form of hepatitis that requires treatment if viral load is above 1000 copies continuously.
Think of this in a simple terms. That viral replication = more liver cells that are infected.
Treatment choices for you would be either interferon since you have no liver damage or antivirals that are usually life time treatment. But in 4-7 years they promise to have a cure for us out. They are working on it.
theres no findings on my ultrasound......i am a hbeag negative....my doctor prescribe only ESENTIALE but i search on net on food supplement and i add milk thistle and vitamins for my daily take....can you suggest what else must i do....?
But usually for hbv dna over 1000 copies treatment is required. ongoing viral replication is bad I am sure you understand that.
