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?

Hbsab neg
Hbeag neg
Hbeab pos
Viral load as of end Jan 2013 is 580iu/ml

ok then we have the highest probability it is acute, hbsag quant can tell where you are if otwards clearance or towards chronic

vit c not necessary if we have no previous neg tests, on chronic hbv vit c doesnt help while vit d3 helps reduce liver damage, prevents cirrhosis and liver cancer, boost peginterferon response

hbsag still positive now and hbcab igm negative?sorry i read first post but consfused reading hbsab neg with hbsag neg

if so it is chronic but if you have no previous tests you were chronic already from birth or very young

since the chances are you were chronic already (if no previous neg tests) you better have a fibroscan to know if your liver is healthy or not and hbsag quant in iu/ml, according to these tests treatment can be choosen or avoided

I suspect during an acupuncture i had last october 11, 2012.  My thought is that end of jan 2013 it was acute with viral load 580iu/ml. but after 2mos hbsag is still reactive. Hopefully this is the month with high wbc, meaning my immune system is fighting the infection and will produce hbsab. Is it possible even without symptoms?

where can i get this livonlabs liposomal vit c?

no the number of immune cells is totally useless, the potency of an immune system is due to the quality of the response and not to the number of immune cells.in the case the quality of immune response is good high wbc is good

what is the time since the infection started?be aware i takes at least 6months to clear hbsag and only after hbsag is cleared we may see hbsab.

if we want to use ipothesis:
you are probably clearing hbv and hbsag and hbsab are now in a balance, the antibodies are all occupied to make hbsag neg, in a short time hbsab shoudl win and become detectable.....if you take 5-8 bags of livonlabs liposomal vit c per day this will boost response/hbsab antibodies if the infection is acute, the same thing by using vitd3 5000 to 10.000iu daily to make serum levels 80-90ng/ml
