Is there anyone that has ever been cured from Hep b

[joctorderry]

I was wondering if there has ever been anyone who has been cured of Hep b.  Is it possible to cure yourself or take medications to help you get started curing yourself.  I am just wondering if it is possible to completely get rid of the virus and get vacinated?  

any answers would help.

most hbv carriers are inactive, taking tenofovir or entecavir makes you like inactive carriers, probably even better than them regarding liver health

commenting when you are not sure DOES NOT help.  HBV with MD Care and rest usually cures itself, notably HCV does not.

Not

Where are you now in Europe ? I'm sure someone here can advise you where to make HBsAg quant in certain country

Hi Royal36,
No i'm in Europe, but i don't think they have the hbsag quantitative testing where i live. Anyway i will raise this with my doctor, but since my hbv dna is varying in the few thousands, i may have some tens of thousands IU of hbsag. In my first test it was written i had >1000IU hbsag, but can't know exactly from this information; greater than 1000 could be 2000, 4000, 20,000 or even 100,000 IU.

[Royal36]

If you are in US there is no Hbsag quant test unless u r going to send your blood sample to overseas.

[sorte]

You are just in the border between observing and treating, rule is F1, hbv dna > 2000, alt above norm, start treatment. But also you are the male and 44 old so I would consider treatment. Do you know your HBsAg quantitive ?

[Liverpatient]

Hi Sorte, thanks for the reply, soon i wil  have ultrasound and i will take it from there what to do. I'm planning to push for treatment; what do you think i would get? Tenofovir/taf or entecavir? I don't think they would give me interferon. And i don't think they have the quantitative hbsag test where i live, they never took that test for me. Does hbsag quantity have any thing to do with the severity of the infection?

[sorte]

I had almost the same results as you before starting interferon, similar alt, similar hbv dna, fibroscan a bit higher, I'm just 7 years younger than you and I've been doing sport everyday, hard trainings sometimes. So I don't think so that your problems are hbv related.

[Liverpatient]

Hi sorte,
My hbv tests fall in the ranges where treatments are not recommended. My doctors say I have a mild type of hbv infection. But despite of this i experience various symptoms that are really affecting my everyday life adversely. These are the symptoms: weaknes and lack of energy, anxiety, general body aches, muscle, joints, and bone aches. Does this mean my doctors are under-estimating my infection? Does it mean I've actually an active hbv infection, despite the "normal" lft tests, fibroscan, and hbv dna?
Ps. lately my ALT rose to 40 from 34, and my hbv dna rose to 2700IU from 1100IU, i'm hbeag-, hbeab+, fibroscan september last year was 5.3kpa, never had us, but soon I'll have it. I'm soon 44 year old, man. Beforehand thanks for your answer and time.

1-2% per year of inactive CHRONIC carriers clears HBsAg.
Another few percent clear with available drugs (interferon or antivirals), it's rare but not impossible.

[stef2011]

you did not check our members posts then....

There is no cure for chronic hepatitis B.  If you cleared it or have antibodies, then u were not chronic.

[cccmiao]

is the transition from active chronic hep b to inactive carrier really possible?

[stef2011]

there is none, only antiviral entecavir or tenofovir

[psarala]

hii , my mother is suffering  from hepaptitis b positive and it is inactive carrier. please suggest herbal remedies and homeo medicine to get rid of hepatitis

[SafiSifa]
