sorry i didn t know you re from philippines, your country has nothing to monitor cronic hbv, no fibroscan, no hbsag quant tests, no hbcab igm quant, sometimes they dont have even hbvdna pcr

if you can afford move to any other country in the area for the tests and doctors, both china, india,japan have all those tests/machines

         you are very infectious as long as hbsag is positive
           ( this link is from you to paulice  as seen above)

   i just confused sir steff....you know what...our medical examination will give us clearance to work abroad as seafarer long as we dont have HbeAg cause it falls under highly infectious it means we can pass the virus to others. only those who have HbsAg alone they allowed... so my question is... what is the difference if you have HbsAg alone without HbeAg ? do this HbsAg alone will consider non infectious? do they will not pass this to others because they dont have the e component?

normal ultrasound but this happens also in early cirrhosis so ultrasound is uselful only to detect liver cancer or fatty liver, abslutley useless for liver damage since when it detects damage is so advanced that it cant be regressed

what is the difference if you have HbsAg alone without HbeAg ?

almost none, hbeag cant be used to define active or inactive hbv, they are very old studies and wrong

inactive hbv is defined by:
hbsag<500iu/ml geno D
hbsag<....something between 100-300iu/ml i dont remember because we dont have these genotypes in europe
hbvdna pcr<2000iu/ml
alt/ast<30men nd 19 women

phillipines has no doctors, no tests...no nothing.i think they are just in a mess as regards hbv until somebody wakes goverment up on the mess they are doing

i read there is a movment making tests like vaccines at birth, hbsag quant and fibroscan available to the population but i dont know which hospital will ahve these available.

hbeag has no meanining here in europe, we check hbvdna pcr and hbsag quant for infectvity
