Hi Stef2011
I thought hbsag was bad, but you say nothing to worry about!. Being low hbvdna for a few yrs do I have a chance to clear either meds or alternatives, if so do you recommend black seed or others, please.
uk healthcare is not that brilliant, no i dont know any

That is the problem I believe that I have somebody that does not know too much although I am told he is top man. My hbvdna is low NOT undetected never in 23yrs has it been more than 500. He said hbsag5000 just means virus is there & my immune system is working, but risk of hcc really concerns me although they say guidelines do not recommend screening for hcc. My gp or hep. doc will not refer me for a 2nd opinion which I really want.
Do you know of any top hepatologists in south of England?
he was talking about antivirals not immune modulators, you dont need antivirals your immune system is already making their job, you need immune modulators being hbvdna und you have 30% chances to clear and cure
you make peg for 12 to 24 weeks and see if hbsag goes down, if it will you keep it until cleared.you need a real liver specialist/researcher for this, the one you went to
Doc says I don't need treatment unless dna levels rise then on tenofovir.
Why hcc risk?
hbsag is non infectious and high on all carriers, if it was low you were clearing...nothing to worry about
if you want to lower it make peginterferon
