vit d3 82ng/ml and lowering alt, not on therapy


my sister just got tests results and the patern of hbvdna, alt looks inversely correlated with vitd 25oh>80ng/ml, this can be confirmed by time, she now has for the first time alt 40, hbvdna stable at around 200.000iu/ml, no liver damage 4.5kpa, hbsag around 18.000iu/ml

probably vitamin d is able to protect liver despite hbvdna detactable keeping alt 40, she will be checking fibroscan and hbsag next month

she has normal calcium as usual and creatinine and check every 3 months with vit d.she has daily vit d3 5000-8000iu

she is not on antiviral therapy because liver has no damage at all so antivirals are useless.
initaly we have fibroscans everywhere so therapy is started only if here is liver damage, hbvdna is meaningless if there is no liver damage
