i'd suggest to wait 24weeks if you are not having bad sides, are you hbeag positive?
to say peg is working we need at least 0.5-1log decline, in your case 1log decline is less than 10.000iu/ml, best response would be 1000iu/ml
i also think you are not responding to lower or clear hbsag but since hbvdna is und and alt is high i d wait and see what happens between 12 and 24 weeks
Hi Stef,
My Hbsaq levels is ranging from 16k to 34K IU/ml
HBsAg Quantitative(CMIA)
26/12/14 - 34268 IU/ml
20/02/15 - 16066 IU/ml
03/03/15 - 27602 IU/ml
09/04/15 - 31029 IU/ml
At the start of my pegIntf it was 34K and recent ones is 31K, my doctors suggests to continue with pegIntf only if the Hbsag levels decreases.
He said he is going to access the difference only after 12 weeks, currently 4 more weeks are pending to complete 12 weeks and after that he would suggest whether to continue or not.
With so much fluctuating results , how much difference in hbsag levels from the initial reading should be there to continue with the pegIntf.
I also read on the other threads and some research papers that PegIntf is more effective only if the Hbsag levels are under 1000 IU/ml or low Hbsag, so my question is how does one figure out whether pegintf is having any effect or not on me and what indicators to consider here.
My HBV DNA is still undetected and Both ALT and AST are still high.
change doctor, not expert
hbsag baseline, 12 weeks, 24weeks and 48weeks
hi Stef ,
How often do you do the HBV DNA quantitative and hbsag quantitative when you are one pegint considering that I have started just 3 weeks ago.
My docto suggests to look at th wbc count only
Thanks stef. Will keep you posted on the progress.
Lighter or no fever at all
