hbsag quantity


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

milfk th: we know it since we were babies...i actually used it for sometime when i was 19yo, it is just an antioxidants as all the others, read the ingredients in hepatitistechnologies you will find milk th and all the other antioxidants necessary

all antioxidants and many vitamins are good to keep oxidation stress undercontrol in those with cronic infections, especially hbv or hcv or cirrhosis
