Hi every one!   i have recieved my test result on Sep 21, 2015 .  

Result
  
Viral Load 1013 iu/ml.
ALT:  19.6  iu/L
AST:   16.1 iu/L    
ALP:         186.9 iu/L                
Bilirubin:  total: 1.0 mg/dl
Albumin: 45.9 g/l
Creatinine: 0.7 mg/dl
GGT :          21.7 iu/L


they didnt include hbeAg ,  my understanding this looks  i was chronic, but i was sick very sick suffering all this Acute symptoms, i was expecting my viral Load to hit millions or at least High ALT range. i wonder what was causing  my symtoms if this is my lab result!!!

I am insufficient VitD25OH not deficient

its the same hbv carriers need high end of normal vitd25oh 80-100ng/ml and check intact pth at the same time because vitd25oh test alone is too poor to confirm sufficiency.vit d below normal can make liver fibrosis itself without any infection, fatty liver, does not protect for liver cancer, kidney function reduced 50% and so on

I am taking entecavir over 1 year, but never had test for fibrosis before this. I am insufficient VitD25OH not deficient. Taking 2000 IU. Seems better to increase dose. I have already decided to start taking milk thistle. Is it ok? Thank you for your helpful information.

no it is meanless to correlate but if even fibrosure values are so bad you better start treatment right away

tenofovir is the best antiviral for normal kidneys function

you must check vitd25oh and supplement 5000-10.000iu daily according to deficiency

Hi, I am  new to this community. Fibroscan is not available here. My fibrosure result is 0.61 (fibrosis score), diagnosed stage F3 (bridging fibrosis with many septa) cirrhosis. No biopsy. Any idea how to correlate fibrosure score to fibroscan?

Thank you for the information, I will call my insurance to find out. I would rather not take the drug IF my 6.3kpa fibroscan reading is ok and my liver is fine....I just hope my Doc wasn't trying to "misinterpret" the results to get my insurance to cover the drugs that I don't want to take in the first place....
