Alright guys, thanks a lot I will make sure we do that on our next appointment with our doctor! Thanks!!
ask the doctor to run a complete HepB profile.
Yes, a blood test. They should have run it.
Hi, how would we find the e-antigen status? Is this through a blood test or how? The results i posted were from blood test. TIA!
Okay, you need to find out her e-antigen status because e-antigen positive HepB is dealt with differently than e-negative. At this point, however, things look fine. The current treatment guidelines typically followed have treatment levels as:
For e-negative, treat when DNA is greater than 2000 IU/ml.
She's below that right now but you need to do a series of panels to see if she is staying below that or if she's creeping up or if she's bouncing around in that area.
Ooops I'm sorry, an update, 2410 is copies/ml and 1270 is IU/ml.
Hi, thanks for the reply. The DNA 2410 is copies IU/ml and 1270 is IU/ml. The doctor said she have chronic Hepatitis B, but it is inactive in her blood right now. Should we worry, and is there any chance of getting rid of the virus for good? Thanks!
Was the DNA measure in copies/ml or IU/ml? Is your mother e-antigen + or -?
1. You don't have HCV.
2. You have HBV. HBV DNA <2000 is a level where doctors don't recommend treatment.
