you just met ignorants, not doctors, see also this, a liver specialist prepared this book for his collegues and presented at a conference years ago since there are too many ignorants that understand nothing about hbv and make more damage than good:

"The general book of ingnorance about hbv"
http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Hepatitis/the-general-book-of-ignorance-about-hepatitis-B/show/1152?cid=153

hbsag is available since hbsag itself is known, from 2000-2005 abbott made a good commercial assay.
since hbvdna pcr is very expensive and hbsag is extremely cheap (7euro in italy), there is a tendency to hide hbsag quant (US, canada dont use it yet whie even third world countries have it), hbsag can be used instead of hbvdna pcr or in combo

hbsag quant shows also that antivirals like tenofovir and entecavir, quite expensive, increase its quantity making hbvdna undetactabel.....and many might think they are useless on hbv, which is not quite wrong

hbsag reflects cccdna which are the infected cells in the liver, i have yet to understand what exactly is the use of hbvdna really apart the use for monitoring nucs response and resistance development.
to me hbvdna is totally useless to monitor infection, infected cells increase when hbvnda pcr is und by antivirals, infact if you stop antivirals you get an acute hbv that might be even dangerous for life

I've just read some news regarding the hbsag in quantity and I've see that is use for monitoring the tratament and I've see that no relation between hbsag and hbsdna was found, so what exactly is hbsdna (virus numbers) and hbsag ?

from when the hbsag is important as in quantity?

doctors that I spoke (all form Europe) said nothing about the hbsag, they only specify that the other criteria hbvdna pcr<2000iu/ml, ast and alt normal value.
Also specify that the results from fibroscan and fibromax should count for liver damage.

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

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
