Pls which lab in nigeria do hbsag quantity and genotype test thanks
the cure post is first page all the time, how can you post here and not see it
Hi steff2011,
Can you please explain what u ment with:
"cure by sequential treatment antivirals and peginterferon add on in 3-5years"
thx!
today we have hbv cure by sequential treatment antivirals and peginterferon add on in 3-5years.so if you carry the virus and want an hbv cure and not managment you just start
in any case managment is also driven by:
fibroscan results or if fibroscan is normal hbvdna, hbsag quantity
alt means nothing anymore, only a high alt may mean immune clearance with a declining hbsag
and what about if HBV DNA value is more than 2000 and the ALT is normal? Should we treat that patient? If so what is the best med to start?
pls send me the contact of the lab that test hbsag quantity in nigeria
thanks
The lab i use in nigeria seems not to even know what is hbsag quant and genotype. pse if u know such a lab let me know . thanks
They are right if dna < 2000 and LFT is normal it is not treated by the guidelienes. But you need to monitor every 6 months.
It does not mean that the virus will go away...
what you need is to test hbsag quantity in iu. to know the amount of hbsag and your genotype as well. update me if get a lab that runs test for hbsag quantity in Nigeria. I am in ghana
