hbsag quantity

[stef2011]

today i received my hbsag quantity which is 250iu/ml, if i only knew about this before starting therapy we would have choosen interferon since etv has little/no impact on this.

interferon leads to hbsag seroconversion when hbsag is less than 1600iu/ml which is the level of inactive carriers, etv has almost no impact on hbsag and cccdna eratication so it was a wrong choice.

i will keep monitoring and taking sun to increase vitamin D level which might have helped on hbsag level and wait to receive and start alinia which has a proven impact in lowering hbsag

i do suggest to check hbsag and although it is rare on cronic hbv to have it lower than 1600iu/ml (on cronic is usually 3000-10000) but it is better to check it so correct therapy can be choosen from the begining

Hello.
I was monitoring my hvb for 6 years without madication. HbeAg negative, initial hvb DNA 6000 u/no, all other results within normal limits.
Hvb DNA was decreasing to less than 1000u/ml but last year it started to rise, last test 1550 u/ml.
My doctor suggested to start treatment with tenofovir. After 10 months of treatment, DNA is undetectable, hbsAg is 1567 u/ml.
Please advise, should I consider combo treatment with interferon or continue antiviral treatment?

Nothing we can do. When our time come for treatment, we have to do it. There's always side effects for all medications, it's just a matter of risk vs benefit.

The best thing that we can do is taking care of our body by eating, thinking, relaxing healthily.
