You are just in the border between observing and treating, rule is F1, hbv dna > 2000, alt above norm, start treatment. But also you are the male and 44 old so I would consider treatment. Do you know your HBsAg quantitive ?
I had almost the same results as you before starting interferon, similar alt, similar hbv dna, fibroscan a bit higher, I'm just 7 years younger than you and I've been doing sport everyday, hard trainings sometimes. So I don't think so that your problems are hbv related.
Hi sorte,
My hbv tests fall in the ranges where treatments are not recommended. My doctors say I have a mild type of hbv infection. But despite of this i experience various symptoms that are really affecting my everyday life adversely. These are the symptoms: weaknes and lack of energy, anxiety, general body aches, muscle, joints, and bone aches. Does this mean my doctors are under-estimating my infection? Does it mean I've actually an active hbv infection, despite the "normal" lft tests, fibroscan, and hbv dna?
Ps. lately my ALT rose to 40 from 34, and my hbv dna rose to 2700IU from 1100IU, i'm hbeag-, hbeab+, fibroscan september last year was 5.3kpa, never had us, but soon I'll have it. I'm soon 44 year old, man. Beforehand thanks for your answer and time.
1-2% per year of inactive CHRONIC carriers clears HBsAg.
Another few percent clear with available drugs (interferon or antivirals), it's rare but not impossible.
you did not check our members posts then....
There is no cure for chronic hepatitis B. If you cleared it or have antibodies, then u were not chronic.
