Best Treatment for HBv

I am 53 years old last month I have went for preventive health check up and based on the report findings the followings noted; SGOT 83 IU/L ,SGPT 200 IU/L , Doctor recmended me to see the Gastro.consultant , the gastro.consultant advised me to go for others test the result are as follows: Anti-dsDNA 16.6 IU/ml. , HBsAg test value 9520(Reactive) ,HCV,IgG test value 0.12 ( non Reactive) ,Anti Nuclear Antibody ( ANA) 0.12 , Immunoglobulin IgA 279 mg/dl , Tissue Transglutaminase antibody IgA 0.40 U/mL , Anti Mitochondrial Antibody , Serum 0.26 UL/ml , ASMA 2.70 U/mL , LKM Antibody 0.02 U/ml , Hepatitis B envelope Antibody test value (Ab) 43.0 ( Reactive) , Hapatitis Be Antigen ( HBeAg) 0.15 ( Non reactive),AFP 4.38ng/ml  , HBV DNA Quantitative,Real Time PCR 5156250 IU/ml. Based on this the Doctor advised me for the treatment  Tab.Entavir 0.5 mg one daily. Here i went for second opinion with Lever specialist consultant and he advised me to go for Fibroscan which the result is 5.91 Kpa ( Negative for fibrosis).Now the lever specialist advised for Viraferon Peg 80 mg once in a week and monitor CBC & S creatin every 15 days.I have not started the treatment yet as I am going out of India for 1.5 months as Doctor told me that this treatment will be given under there supervision , please suggest which treatment is suitable under these report.Also with vaccine this problem will be solved and how long i have to take this treatment.

Hi Stef2011
My wife got blood tested for HbS Antibody ( Anti-HBs) and the result is 505.28 mIU/mL. and Vitamin D,25 Hydroxy serum - 40.70nmol/L
I know the Vitamin is extremely low and need to know on the test value  of Anti-HBs. please interpret the result.
Thank you,

maybe you have some genetic difference that makes use of vit d/pth different, where did you send the report?

you may try nicotinamide riboside for boosting energy, i take NR plus liposomal resveratrol and pterostilbene as antiage supplements and i got a very potent boost of energy like in my '30, i have no idea if this can work for anybody but definitely worths a try after reaching 35-40yo

Hi Stef2011
Thank you I will find out this energy booster supplement and try to take 1 daily , what is the best time to take this supplement.
I my previous post all the reports sent but i will send once again.
PTH - 89.1pg/ml.
Vitamin D3 - 25 hydoxy 56.6ng/ml.

I am planning to do the parathyroid scan as well. I have done it 6 month back and the report findings were okay but the doctor was not convinced with the report as serum Calcium was high 10.47 mg/dl , phosphorus serum always low 1.98 mg/dL , ALP high 164 U/L. , 24 hour Urine calcium 316.80 mg/day slightly high from the range 100-300 , calcium ionized serum 1.29 mnol/L. phosphorus 24 hour urine 825 mg/day
This time i am going with different lab. to double check.
Shall post you the findings.

Thank you,

Hi Stef2011
Thank you so much,
My Hbeag is -ve and the treatment  started 1st Feb.2014 and till now with Tiravir 300 mg daily , I feel some time very weak and upper back having regular pain.
I am in the remote place maldives these days but keep visiting India almost 4-5 months so getting treatment is not a problem but due to weakness & tiring some time not deleiver 100% at work .
PTH is concern as its not getting down as I said in Maldives the sun is very bright and I almost out in the day time and cycling as well.I have a doubt like parathyroid gland so i will check with Doctor if required will do the scan once again.
My routine to take medicine after dinner ,Is it okay or required to change the schedule.
I sent you the details report how you find the result please let me know.

as long as creatinine and gfr are within limits it is ok to keep tdf

avoid use of drugs that make kidneys damage, in feb 2015 i had t use antibiotics for 2 weeks and gfr went less than normal and creatinine borderline high and i have not fully recovered to high gfr and very low creatinine like i was before, antibiotics are for sure kidneys killer when using other heavy drugs on kidneys

Hi Stef

Thank you for your kind suggestion , in fact i would like to continue with Tiravir 300 mg. I agreed with you the Sebivo is very weak profile for resistance.
Actully i am travelling to Maldives and have to stay there for 6 months so i am carrying these medicines along with me.
If any issue comes up during my stay at maldives , i shall share with you.

Thank you once again.

or much better why not use entecavir?

Looking forward your reply.
Thank you,

you know my concern is that there is something not working like high calcium with vitamin d within ranges and at the same time high pth with high calcium

before starting all that vit d i would go with low dose daily like 2000iu and take all vitamins correlated with vit d pathways to see if this gets solved.magnesium, vit A, vit k2 all work together with vit d and if there are deficiencies of these vits increasing vit d may not be good

gcmaf is the vitamin d transporter to receptors and nagalase made by hbv blocks gcmaf...i d be curious to see what your nagalase is but this is a research test and too difficult to get this in asia

Hi Stef

I have not tried Vitamin A supplements as yet but will find out & start taking it as well, what should be the dose.

Doctor suggested me multi vitamin named : Lycopene,vitamin,methylcobalamin,folic acid,chromium & sodium soft gelatin capsules( Make Medoscha gold) he asked me to take for 2 months. I noticed this is quite useful i feel more energetic now , last 1 month i am taking 1 capsule daily. Whats your opinion ..

Thanks Stef ,

I have stopped taking Vit.3 supplement as my calcium level both in serum & 24 hours urine was high so the vit D3 was stopped almost 3 months , now i have started weekly 60K as per doctor advice , and it showed increase in the result but PTH way high ,
24 /10/15 I am going for calcium check both in serum & urine then will see the result and increase the Vit D3 dose.
I also checked the Parathyroid and found no tumor its normal report.
If my calcium level within normal range i will increase the Vit D3. What you suggest how much Vit D3 should take.
Stef one more question i noticed upper back ach gone through the MRI found all normal but some time the pain is quite severe , it could be related to Vit D diffiency also .
I also lost 10 Kg.weight within 12 months, is it normal or related to HBV .I am concerned on it, please suggest as i am taking overseas job effective 25 Dec.2015 , in Maldives if health permit me i will join there.
My last meeting with Doctor advised me to eat healthy food as normal diet no restriction to any food product.
I am meeting with Doctor next week .

another thing doctors should consider is possible kidneys damage from hbv but this is very hard to see from the tests only by using antivirals you may see improvements in creatinine clearance and serum creatinine after 1 year therapy

i think alt and hbsag are not so important now we need to understand why you have problems with vitamin d pathways (severe vit d deficiency confirmed by abnormally high pth which is usually named secondary hyperparathiroidism but this has to do with vit d deficiency or some kidneys issues).what did the doctor say about this?any clue about the disease?

did you try vitamin A supplements the natural type from fish oil?carlson, nordic naturals are very good brands but also nowfoods although they dont have ifos certification

You have fantastic results, except ALT being raised and your liver seems to be fatty (CAP score). You need to take care of your diet and eating habits, and probably also exercise more to lose the fatty liver.

You are about to complete 2yrs of tdf treatment. U can try IFN now. Is it sure that hbsag will go down to 1500iu after 2-3yrs of tdf. IFN must be tried in young age and works different in different individuals.

Thank you Stef for your revert,
I was looking in the website and you also suggested some time back milk thistle now it is available ULTRA THISTLE 360 mg. what is your say on it?
As suggested by you i will go for vit A from cod liver oil , i am already taking vit k2 mk7 100mcg last 6 month. which is the best time to take this combo.
I was thinking to bring back the Vit D3 to sufficient level , if i take 60K vitmin D3 weekly it helps need your clarification.As you may have noted my PTH is very high beyond the range in this way i can bring down the PTH as well.
Looking fowar your suggestion as always,

Thank you,

TrY the combo of vit A from cod liver oil 10.000iu daily and vit k2 mk7 200mcg daily and see  if calcium declines even more, stay at least 3-6months away from vit d and ifthis combo works protecting you may restart vit d to keep at least min sufficiency
