I wish Medhelp would fix this problem-test deleted:
ULN ALT for female is 19 iu/l and 30 for male.
2. Treatment should be considered if there is significant fibrosis (> F2) and cirrhosis, regardless of viral load and ALT.
Update,
July 2018
Viral load - 44,600 IU/ml
ALT - no record
Oct 2018
ALT 30 U/L
Viral load - 148,000 IU/ml
ALT - no record
updating for my self but if anyone wants to comment I would be overwhelmed with joy.
Update, DNA Viral load was up to 121204 IU/ml, alt is still averaging 25u/l. This was in November, not sure how I missed it. is this normal, could it just be a flair up? I no longer trust the doctor we are seeing, her plan is to monitor viral load and liver function and do another biopsy in 4 years. This makes me uneasy, can anyone give me some insight?
Is there maybe a discussion on here that already covers this, I found next to nothing in the search function, maybe I am using the wrong words?
1. hbvdna (viral load) > 2,000 iu/ml and elevated ALT (< 19 iu/l female, F2) or cirrhosis.
As Tenefovir/Entecavir treatment is long term, and short term treatment like PegIFN has side effects, you must always consult with an experienced HBV specialist to select the most appropriate treatment and management.
