Suggest a good doctor for Hepatitis B

I recently got all my blood examinations done and my liver functions test, ultrasound scan are all normal. My CBC count is normal too.

My Vitamin D levels Were 16 about 6 months ago and I take calcirol every once a month.

I was diagnosed of being a HbsAg carrier when I was expecting my baby. Since then I got my antigens regularly & two doctors gave me different versions, one said I don't need any treatment as my virus is dormant, whereas the other put me on Lamavir and said I need it.

But after almost 13 years I had a bout of stomach infection and the gastroenterologist recommended me that I get an HBV DNA to see how is the virus progressing.

My reports shows my HBV DNA as 41,500 IU/mL

I am 40 years of age and looking for a balanced view on exactly what's should be the course of treatment and who is the best doctor in New-Delhi for this kind of a disease. Any suggestion? I would be very grateful for it. Also I don't want to undergo any liver biopsy, so is there an alternative to it too?

patients just get an increase of creatinine for few days but since there are no tests to detect if a patient has kidneys damage already creatine can stay out of range longer

here in italy patients take antioxidants before and during taking contast, you can take nac,coq10 and vit c, nac especially usefull and has indications specific for this

the doses:
nac,1500-2000mg daily, better multiple doses during the day
coq10, 100-200mg
vit c if possible injection vit C, 1000-2000mg daily

all these are non prescription vitamins, you can take only nac if you like, here are the studies on the damage and prevention, if i were you i d sue the doctors, i obviously dont know laws in your conutry but in italy we sue them every day and you see reports on tv becuase they are not allowed to make any mistake and if they do they will pay very heavy for it and if they dont like this or prepare for this they can do another job

Hi Stef I returned after my review with the doctor with all my reports.

Doctor said since my Fibroscan is a bit borderline, he would like to conduct a liver biopsy on me. After that they will see what stage of cirrhosis I am on. If its stage one, then he might not consider any treatment for me, but if it's stage two then he says he will have to put me on anti-virals. I did not consent for a biopsy today, so he has given me a 3 month grace to make up my mind, in the mean time he wrote on my prescription, "patient not willing for biopsy".

Kindly tell me your views on this whole episode. I don't want to jump the gun this time, like CT scan.

I am also very very afraid of biopsy for some reason.

Best Regards.

Do not take any vitamin tablets in night, else you will have sleep disorder.

You can start vit d3 without testing for it. But it's a better idea to get the initial level so that you can monitor the improvement.

You can give your blood sample to your nearest branch of Religare or any other pathological lab, they will not ask for any doctors prescription for this. Once you give the sample, your  report will come in 2-3 days, meanwhile you can start vit d3.

rep9 ac is the first hbv cure, human trials proved that since 2-3 years ago but no drug maker invests on this so it is not on the market, they are not interested to cure hbv

that just means no cancer, no fatty liver, nothing else, thats why i hate the over use of ct scans just to stell money to people.if you were to be on early cirrhosis the scan would result the same, it can t see anything about fibrosis
