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

if protein in urine is found again just go for the supplements, you ll recover anyway
i had creatinine out of range at some point using etv+alinia in 2010, i used fibroguard and had no problems to add tdf

no not at all, just recheck urine, creatinine clearance and Cystatin C.maybe it happened only once
after we have these results you can also start those supplements they have no cons and only pro for all organs and health
also consider not waiting the time dr lok suggested i dont see why wait and for what, hbsag will not go just sitting and waiting

So in other words I will be without kidneys at some points how said is this really no hope :(
there are no tests with good sensibility to know when kidneys are being damaged, when tests are abnormal half kidney is already gone
we discussed this wth studyforhope in some old posts, the test with the highest sensibility to predict kidney damage is albumine/creatinine ratio in urine or Cystatin C

Also Stef why tdf is not good for me if that confirmed? This way I will lose the best antiviral medicine available

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
