I don't think panicking is useful here.
Is it possible that the lab result got a wrong reading on your blood test?
If you are healthy and eating healthy, have good bmi ratio, have no bad symptom, then I think it's OK to have a flare like that. You have any support group like your parents and siblings/friends??
Maybe another blood test in 1 weeks time to see 'maybe' a typo or mistake on the lab.
Stef and others, where are you?
I need your comments. My pshycology is terrible.
I am 29 years old and a fit body. I eat healthy foods.
Thanks a lot dear.
My treatment was going well and my motivation was getting higher until today.
For HBEAG, I only have base number (5 months ago) and 3rd month number (2 months ago). The new result will come with HBV DNA.
ALT
Before: 86 (5 months ago before treatment)
After: 90 (2 months ago - after 3 months treatment)
Now: 347 (Today - 5 months after treatment)
HBEAG
Before: 912 (5 months ago before start treatment)
After: 7.4 (2 months ago - after 3 months treatment)
Now: Not resulted yet
HBV-DNA
Before: 557 000 000 (5 months ago before treatment)
After: 55 000 (2 months ago - after 3 months treatment)
Now: Not resulted yet
Hi safi, I'll help as I also had even worst flares during the years (ALT up to 900).
Increase of ALT means your immune systme is stronlgy fightinh hbv to get rid of that.
I'm sure DNA is further loweriing sice you are taking ETV.
This flare could lead to EAG serovnversion... are you still EAG+ve?
'It can be either host or virus induced ALT flare, so you need to understand which one you have.'
Is HBV DNA test enough to understand?
it is hbeag seroconversion and lowering of hbsag, only if you find hbvdna increase over many logs it can be considered a bad sign...many of us would like to have your little flare (not that much of a flare)
