anyone can explain my hbsag results
cut-off value 0.126
patience count 3.817 reactive. wht is my hbsag status? plz help
it said that the normal SGPT is 32 U/L
no normal is below 30 and with lowest liver related mortality lower than 20 for men
for women is always below 19
gpt going up can have many meanings not always related to hbv:
alcool, fat diet, steatosis (fat liver due to fat diet)
immune system clearing some infcted cells
virus infecting more cells
these test might help to understand:
hbsag quantitative in iu/ml, if lower than 1500-500iu/ml you have immune control of hbv and nothing to worry about
hbvdna pcr, will tell you the rate of virus replication which is not correlated with alt but if lower than 2000iu/ml is correlated with immune control
make a healthy diet without fat and fresh food as much as possible.you have never checked hbvdna so if this is higher than 2000iu/ml we can consider to check liver damage and therapy
alt has no menaing if hbvdna is high and you are not immune tollerant.normal alt and high hbvdna when not immune tollerant can have much liver damage.
there are hbv precore/core/core promoter that make liver damage with normal alt and promote liver cancer

is it available in the Philippines?
It is useless to use ntz?
since it has no sides and boost immune system without no direct action on hbv i think it is stupid not to try it whatever the situation.
i'd say it is usless as monotherapy except for inactive carriers with hbsag very low, hbvdna und, hbe neg
If hbvdna is undetectable, then ntz doesn't work?
never said it doesn t work but i said it seams to work less when hbvdna is und by entecavir or tenofovir because immune system is less stimulated by virus replication, but data is not enough as a rule, we just noticed the best resukts are on hbe negative, hbvdna detactable
it works probably best when started 4 weeks before interferon from what we have seen in hcv trials and probably the same is for hbv.
but again we know that some hbv replication stimulates immune system so it is important to start ntz while replication is active
to judge hbsag lowering we need 1 or 2 years minimum, if you see interferon graphics we talk about 1-5 years minimum and 10 years for nucs
