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?

as i posted before it is extremely easy to know what is going on by hbsag quantity tests because:

chronic carriers have hbsag quant in the thousands range, mostly 5000iu/ml to 250.000iu/ml

immune control has less than 1000iu/ml (genotype a-d), hbvdna less than 2000iu/ml

if you are still acute and clearing your hbsag must be less than 1000iu/ml if higher you have zero immune control and it is going towards chronicity, you can also do 2 tests onemonth aprat and if results are stable or rising again it is chronic, if they are slowly on the decline in the 1000iu/ml raneg acute and clearing

Despite negative hbcab igm now, it is still acute? Again it was reactive last end of jan.. I've seen a graph that hbsab will start to rise after 6months from infection. I am right?

Hi Magda.  Don't worry.  I got infected in Sep 2011.  Last test in 2/2013 showed a HBSab + = 3 ui.  I have not eliminated the virus so I am not cured but It's better than nothing !!  I am fighting against it !!  who knows maybe one day i will win fight.  getting infected as un adult is not as bad as being as a child.

I just wanted to tell you that according too my doctor It is up to one year to create HBSab so U have time !!  It is important not to stress and be fine in your mind so your boddy will fight efficiently !
