About 2 years ago came to know that i have chronic hepb possibly from birth as father had it too.
Had been doing all test every six months since then.
My results
----------------
Liver biopsy done 2 years ago ( Grade 1 , stage 0)
genotype = D
HBV DNA < 20 IU/ml ( getting this result for last 18 months ( tests done every 6 months))
HBsAG quantitative = 848 IU/ml
ALT = fluctuates between 30 and 40 ...was 35 as per last weeks result.
Have no symptoms of any sort ( Though i know Hepb doesnt show any symptom as such)
Have not taken any medication till date for HepB. My doctor says its inactive , ..His reading is that My system is slowly clearing it..so just keep watching every 6 months , do not take any medication.
Need your advice , should i just keep waiting for better drugs to come in market . or pursue it actively by takign interferon as HBsAG value is < 1000 so that it eradicates. I do understand that interferon has its heavy side effects.
thanks
