yes he is hbsag 10.000iu/ml

[mike9111]

Yeah if it is really 10 then he might clear easily and hope he know that. Mine just found out it is 223.70 iu/ml and Steff told me I have good chance to clear so will start next month when i go back to the states. I'm so happy i did the HBSAG in Europe as I can't get the result in USA

[The_PS]

not ".00" but it is ".000" !! I think it might be 10 iu as well for - eag, but just curious.

[mike9111]

He put dot so if he have 10.00 I assume this 10

[The_PS]

HbsAg 10 iu/ml or 10,000 iu/ml???

[mike9111]

Flameboy with hbsag only 10 iu you can clear easily with peginterferon and Stef can confirm

[stef2011]

this is a recycled research, it is known since decades that afp rises with inflammation, infact it is not an HCC marker anymore for the reason it rises more for inflammation than HCC

my afp is always around 6-7 but my last fibroscan was 6.5kpa
hbvdna undetected (no treatment) hbsag 10.000 iu/ml e-neg

Making me nervous now. My afp level is ~ 6.5. But my alt levels are normal. My ultrasound didnt show any abnormality. I asked my doc to recommend a fibroscan. He said its not required. Any one else in the same boat?

Hbv is ~ 4000 iu/ml and hbeab +ve
