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?

concerned about high ALT & AST...


taking sevibo for 1 yr then i decided to undergo pegintf.
stop taking sevibo for 1 month then started the mono pegintf.

before taking sevibo
HBV Viral load 640M copies/ML

after 1 yr of sevibo
HBV Viral load is 37 iu/ml

before pegintf:
HBsAg II Quantification 1,392 iu/ml
HBV Viral Load 37 iu ml

results- 24 weeks of  Pegintf
HBV Viral load is <6 iu/ml or 35 copies/ml
HBsAg II Quantification 314.90 iu/Ml

I understand the result is good.

what worries me is the consistent  high ALT
and SGOT result is high also (although test done once only after 24wks of pegintf)

ALT 64.60        (declining results)
SGPT 42.11    

i have mild fibrosis result before pegintf .
what will be the effect of consistent high alt in my liver?

you may try Maitake Mushroom Extract which is known to increase your own interferon production, it also has betaglucans, if your hbsag is lower than 1000iu/ml and if the mushroom makes enough intf this will help you clear, if hbsag is high no way it can work because hbv is able to block intf effect and it does

No I did not take anything.  Just balance diet, proper exercice and positive thinking.  I have been very surprised of seing my acute HEP b to become cronic and never seen a case like mine (not even liver enzimes above normal levels , not even high viral load !!)  what made me feel so afraid at the begining but..........what tha hell I am a worrior I will defeat this virus one way or another !! .  I wish u the best optimistic approache !

no hbvdna is totally useless to see if you are clearing hbv even if undetectable it means nothing, it is never undetectable in the liver until hbsag und and hbsab high

antibodies like astragalus or beta glucan?
yes, useless, on chronic hbv immune system is controlled and suppressed by hbv, only pegintf has effect
