[Joji310105]

Hi,
I have been tested Positive for Hepatitis B Virus infection for last 10 years, 3 months before i have done a LFT (Liver Function Test) and its showing all counts near to normal, please tell me whether their is any chance to make Hbsag+ to Negative?

good source of info:

eradication of hbv is not possible except for about 11% patients on interferon, hbsag quantification in iu/ml by abbott architet is the only test who might find patients cleraing hbsag in 1-10 years
nucs might clear hbsag in about same percentage by time and it is believed that 10-15 years of continuous tenofovir or entecavir without resistance might clear hbsag as well in more than 11%

This question is HBV related; you'll want to repost it here:

Perhaps Medhelp moderators usher this along...
