Elevated WBC

Hi! End of Jan 2013, i was still in the acute stage of hepa b. 13 April 2013 - IGM non reactive. I am still considered in acute stage? How is elevated WBC related to hepa b? Does this mean my immune system is fighting off the virus?

The high ALT is correlated with your good results - it means fighting off the infected cells inside liver. It will go down after you clear HBsAg - which you are doing judging on your good results.

Please post back your results after you finish your 48 week treatment.

Well I took some immune system booster this winter with probiotics.  It is called BION 3 but I don't even know if that's good quality staff or if it has had impact on my HBS ab creation. As well some vitamin c natural staff.

Hello. I am hbe ag -ve and hbe ab +.  I have not made HBSag quant.  Why?? becouse my doctor Told me it is useless in my case. He told me It is usefull if I go for treatement. With no fibrosis at all and viral load of 110 IU he told me there is no need to go for traitement right now....... he told me I WOULD have SIDES  and he prefer to watch it closely.  I trust my doctor I live in France and i've been told he is good one.

For me balanced diet is mediterranean food with olive oil,fruits,  lot's of salads, vegetables and never industrial things or bad meat industrially treated. Well anyway I have had very bad luck becoming cronically and my HBS ab = 3 UI r just not enought.  Better than nothing I suposse that means my Inmune System is working a little.

What is your balance diet? No supplements? Thx Garbanzo.

What was your hbsag quant before and now? Are you hbeag -/+? at least you have developed antibodies. I think you just have to boost more your immune system. Do you have supplements?
