Hbsag quantative test in Europe
Hello,
Since we don't have this test in USA. I'm planing to do it in Italy while visiting Europe next month and I have the following questions:
1) where in Rome I can do the test?
2) how much will it cost me ( hbsag quantity, genotype etc...)
3) do I need an appointment or I can walk in?
4) do they speak English I hope

well you can easily clear in few months, i would go same protocol as otan did, that s to say:
optimize vitamin d before starting
simvastatin few weeks before starting
peginterferon pegasys hbsag level guided therapy (it lasts as long as hbsag goes und and hbsab>10miu/ml)

Got my results:
HBSAGQ HBs-Ag (quantity) (ECLIA). 223.70 iu/ml
Hbvdnq. Pcr. 38200 iu/ml. (Was 1128 iu last month?)
Genotype. D

i cannot be 100% sure about this because these were just reports from this doctor but it makes sense to go directly at the lab
he took multiple blood samples from same patients at the same time to see if the nagalase results would be the same and he found different results from same sample at same time
also remember to mention drugs and supplements taken

Yeah maybe go to New Jersey not so bad for me 8 hours or perhaps fly there.
I took the kit to my doctor's office for the blood sample and then sent it back overnight. I was unaware of the problem that Stef mentions so next time I'll either take a day and drive to the lab or use dry ice in the package.
i didn t menthion this lab because a doctor from new york found unreliable results.
i think the problem is with temperature because they allow shipment with no cooling overnight, while years ago i checked with eruopean labs and they required cooling even if overnight shipment
i think the best is going to the lab directly or using dry ice for cooling even if overnight

1) where in Rome I can do the test?
there is a very small lab in rome collecting samples and shipping to main sylab laboratory.it is ll ok but not in the rome center, getting there by public transport very messy, you ll have to take a taxi
all public hospitals and many other private labs have hbsag quant but i dont know if you have access
a very good lab i know in civitavecchia (which is 30-45min train from rome) have both hbsag quan and nagalase test available
synlab is everywhere in the north with their own labs,milan is full of their labs, verona, florence, forli, cattolica too
2 hbsag at synlab is about 50€, i dont know for genotype and other tests.email them, they also have ip10 and other research tests available, oxidative stress tests and so on.hbsag in public hospitals is 8€ for italians and free for italian chronic carriers
3 no appointment but you have to explain carefully the type of test because they dont know it at reception (while public hospitals know the test) and confuse that with hbsag qualitative, hbsab quantitative or hbvdna
they have roches elecsys
4 i guess they do, better email them and have appointment so they dont make the wrong test
