Avatar m tn I am chr hep b, male 29, i was on teraphy (pegasys and lamivudin) 48 weeks, after 48 weeks i am HbsAg negative HbeAg negative, anti-HbsAg negative and anti-HbeAg negative. what are the prognosis in my terms , can I be cured?
Avatar m tn I have to pay a lot for interferon therapy and which is going vane as no significant response yet. Peg 2a is FDA approved but nowhere I can find 2b is EASL approved for hep b. Plain IFN 2b was FDA approved though but not peg 2b. Many of u will say me to continue 2b (Atleast upto 24weeks) and not shift but I want some evidence or studies that changing won't benefit me. There is a Chinese study in which peg 2b was beneficial only in geno c and age<25. I m 32.

422881 tn?1257603579 I knew I stood a good chance to be UND for Hep C with my geno type (2a), but I had no idea what to expect with regards to Hep B. I have mainly been concentrating on Hep C and don’t really understand too much about Hep B yet. Trying to concentrate on one thing at a time. I know most people don’t go through Interferon treatment for HBV, so I was wondering if I have a chance to clear the HBV along with the HCV seeing as how I’m UND at 4 weeks?

Avatar m tn If you abstain from alcohol, keep a regular eye on your hep b, eat and live healthy, then you shall have less then 2.5% chance of dying from consequences of hepatitis B, this is assuming that you are either genotype D or E.
Avatar f tn Hello every one. I have known that I have the hep c since two year but I have not done any treatment yet. last 3 month I have check my blood test at the hospital in my city which shown the viral load 78059 IU/ml and the doctor A recommended me to do the treatment without the biopsy but the cost to do that is so expensive and i do not have any health benefit yet because I am still a student.
Avatar n tn partner is starting pegasys treatment and i am pregnant. he told me he is starting this due to liver damage because of chemo for testiclur cancer before we met. he has not mentioned hep c to me once. can this treatment be used for other liver damage. thanks.
Avatar f tn t know about Ukraine but in Russia under government program ALL care is free now for people that deal with devastating chronic medical condtions such as hep B or C. You can try going to Moscow.. Ask around for help on hvc.ru lots of people from former USSR there and those that are in Kiev too that will be able to advice you better and offer support. but. If you have the funds to go abroad for treatment go to Austria or Germany the two best places to get treated for just about anything now.
Avatar m tn Need more info on medical condition to truly answer, obviously you have elevated liver functions, do you have hep c ?
Avatar m tn u hav hbv or hcv.....nd hw z u screening test........
Avatar f tn Hi Cindy- The viral load does not keep going up as time as goes on. It goes up and down all the time in most people and has nothing to do with the amount of damage you have to your liver. it will only be important to determining how you respond to treatment. The hep a and b vaccines are to prevent you from getting hep a and b which you don't want to have along with hep c.

Avatar m tn I was earlier diagnosed with HEP B and was under treatment for the past 3 months. I have been put on Pegasys and now my doc wants to add tenofovir. Today I got a Fibroscan done and the test result showed that I have stage 3 cirrhosis. Do you think continuing my hep medications will have any adverse effect on my liver and the cirrhosis?
