how to interpretate red labs vdr

[japonego]

hello,

does anybody know how to interpretate the vdr test from redlabs? I´ve searched it a lot yesterday and I have found differente interpretations. If anyone knows it please send me some trustable link the confirms it. (the links I found are from discussion forums)

by the way I´ve just got mine, wich is
ff/Bb (some site says ff are for bad responder, and some say it is for high responder, Bb means moderate responder according to all sites I read)
and when I made the blood extraction they were very clear that they don´t do the test interpretation.

thanks and regards

At a closer look I think I found the investigation on a private laboratory and the price are quite high, 300 euro for HBV genotype and 450 euro for HBV resistance to the drugs (nucs), so my previous questions is still valid.
When is necessary for a person to do the genotype of the virus and the possible mutation ?

when is important that a person to do the genotype of the virus and the possible mutation ?

I'm asking this because this investigation are quite expensive (I heard that genotype investigation is around 300 Euro and for other I expect at the same amount or maybe more)

Do you know were this analysis are available ? (analysis for genotype I think that I saw something of some labs, but for mutation i don't saw it - or maybe I don't look for the correct names)

pisa researcher found that interferon was effective to clear hbv with mutations in the "a" determinant, they said this virus is weaker.alinia might be effective too comboed with interferon
the patient in pisa had this mutation due to lamivudine

I found this:

[stef2011]

"we could not find mutations of antivirals´resistance"
method: Polimerase, gene sequences dna polimerase and protein HBsAg.

this is not important, this is used only for drugs.they should check for the hbsag mutants


My last two HBsag test I did in a different lab, they both said over 250.000 and had no unit.

if there isn t iu/ml after the number it is not quantitative so this test needs to be re-checked with result in iu/ml

hbv DNA (april 2011) 10000000.0 UI/mL - 7 log UI/mL (real time PCR)
is hbvdna still so elevated?if so you have an hbsag mutant but in any case nagalase should be high and not low....i guess if it is so the mutant hbsag have other means to escape immune system

hi

i was not try to say that you don't know the difference between the HBV DNA and HBsAg :), it was only the fact that I'm also confused by your analyses.
I'm not so knowledge like stef2011 and i only read some classical HBV books and some study and I don't remember to found information regarding HBsAg positive and  Anti HBs positive.
I'm sure that the community will find a  explanation, I will ask also my doctor regarding this but this will be only in September when i have my 6 mouth appointment.
