My profile and Results

[mike9111]

I'm an HBV carrier since birth like most of the members and I did lot of tests in the past year. My hepatalogist is one of the world leading in HBV professor Anna Lok. My results are fluctuating and I'm on no treatment and never been on treatment. I tried to put as much info on supplements I took and duration as well with the time frame.

My professor before fibroscan was thinking of trying interfron for a year after i kept asking and she said if fibroscan show worsen than my last reading but it came way below that. She did say few things that align with what Stef and others been saying. I asked her if i should go nuc first to get undetectable DNA before interfron and she said in my case interfron mono would be ok since my hbv dna is not elevated. Also she said that precore mutant will not increase the risk of hcc but the genotype C and basal core are the one that at increase. In all means she said in the next 10 years my risk is low but after that she can't predict. One last thing she also commented on future and she said most hepitits C researchers have to work on HBV or otherwise they will go out of business since HCV is cured.

To be honest with you i lost hope in doctors which i think they know nothing on this virus and most what they tell you is same as you read so nothing new

So it's quite stable. Good that you take d3, important for immune system.

I have 3 tests of hbsag quantitative:

First one august 11 2014:   223 iu/ml
Second  test august 28 2014:  220 iu/ml
Third test august 14 2015 :    147 iu/ml

I think doing HBsAg quant is a very good decision, than doctor will have some information in which direction infection goes increasing/decreasing/stable. Do you have more results or only one for now ?
Althought with such low HBsAg you have a chance to clear spontanously too.

Just came back from dr Lok appointment:

No changes as she still think doing well although she said peginterfron have a good chance but asked to wait a year to see my fibroscan and ultrasound as my last fibroscan was only 4.8 kpa.
The plan is 6 month blood work then 1 year from now ultrasound and fibroscan.
I will do my hbsag quantitative next summer and hope to see ot still declining

I believe you should start interferon as to try to finish off the virus...
