HBV Life Span?

[msapprehensive]

How long is the life span of a person with chronic Hepa B? Carrier for almost 15 years. 36 years old. Female. No vices. Not taking any vitamins, supplements or any anti viral drugs.

i'm also EAG+ and my DNA is slowly increasing after two ifn courses.. anyhow i suspect you're a carrier since birth like most of us are...  i've read it is strange EAG+ and signinfcan liver damage...

what a good to hear :))

I am not sure for the fibrosis regression. Some says YES for the regression, some say NO...

EAG +.

I diagnosed 6 months ago.. I started ETV 3 months ago. Before that I have NOT used any medicine.

@SS.. you have F3 and you've done rigth thing to start ETV.. you'll expereind HBV DNA und ad Fibrosis regression...

I think you should stay safe a do not worry...

by the way are you EAG +ve or  -ve? have you ever had any IFN course?

[SafiSifa]

Age is 29

My fibrosis is at stage 3 and HAI grade is 11.

HBV DNA was 557 million 3 months ago. (I will get the new number 10 days later)

Ultrasound is totally normal.

I have been using ETV 0.5.

I have a very healthy life style and a fit body.

Should I wait to death? Is it possible to get my healthy liver back with ZERO fibrosis and ZERO HAI or even very low (I do not mean 5-10 percentage)?

What do you think?

Hi, where are your current residence?

I think at the very least fibroscan is important than the dreaded biopsy. Since your LFT is normal, I would recommend checking your HBeAg status (positive or negative), your HBV DNA and your HBsAg numbers if possible.

Since you have no vices, I guess you are in good shape and BMI are in orderly fashion? Do supplement yourself with Vit D3 as many are deficient with this vital vitamin.

Good luck.
