hbsag relapsed and it is obvious hbsag was too high when you stopped tdf, only hbsag less than 100iu/ml have chances to clear
Trouble was I had a really bad Nicorette habit. Low and behold I have chronic pancreatitis and if I chew the gum--the pancreatic pain skyrockets. I would say "YES" Nicorette either causes, triggers, or aggrevates pancreatitis.
any drug has sides but you have to be mart to understand who develops sides, on the contraru you are taking drugs that make damage in your situation, Lyvomin is a useless drug and has no indication on hbv
vitamin B can have sides and in the wrong dose can make liver damage and death...i guess tenofovir cannot kill, so what do you think vitamin B is a killing drug?
You are correct that Truvada is a combination of tenofovir and emtricitabine, and is generally prescribed for patients with HIV. Being a HBV forum, most of us know very little about Truvada except that it is prescribed off-label for HBV by some doctors, and that it is recommended for HBV patients who develop resistance to Tenofovir.
checking tenofovir trials on hbv only (no hiv coinfection) kidney problems are in less than 1% patients and i haven't found tx discontinuation because of kidney problems.
hbv has no mutations at all under tenofovir tx and i think we can find data from some patients using tenofovir for more than 3 years even if not on trial about this.
entecavir mono has only 1.2% resistance but has several hbv mutations anyway altough only 1.2% has resistance to entecavir.
im now being directed to take a gastric emptying study which i already have had done a year ago and those results were normal..my question is...is here a link between pancreatitis and bile reflux? and if so, would it not be indicative of an obstruction (due to the minor dilation) of my pancreatic duct....is there any remedies or speculation around these test results?
I had hyperparathyroidism and it was my understanding that was separate from my thyroid issue. I'm not sure that is clinically correct though.
Hope you get more answers.
Now its been basically non-stop, confirmed by mri, that it is chronic pancreatitis, and fatty liver. Im being sent to a pain specialist for the pain, and hoping he can offer relief, because Ive been recieving very little help from my doctor with that. Im 5'5", used to be about 138lbs, and now am 162, with gain of 10lbs a month on a low fat diet, no meat, no bread, soft food. I dont understand except unless wieght gain is from thyroid going wrong, im hypothyroid.
My doctor told me I had chronic hepatitis B, Just recently I got a liver biopsy and waiting for results. Can you give me more info on tenofovir, entecavir and interferon. I have several lab results. Perhaps I can provide you with the results so you can get a better picture on my condition. Which ones would you be interested in seeing?
For the first 39 months of use of entecavir/tenofovir there is not significant difference in HCC development for tenofovir vs entecavir for non-cirrhotic...as probably expected since pre-malignancy was probably already developed in those HCC cases. For Cirrhotic tenofovir maybe seems to be just slightly better option.
For non-cirrhotic usage of interferon in the past reduced chances of HCC by 29% in this study.
the liver repairs itself, hbv makes no damage on most and about 10-20% can get cirrhosis after a life time
you need to check fibroscan, hbsag quantity in iu/ml, hbeag, ast/alt, hbvdna and then consider if sequential treatment of tenofovir and peginterferon add on might work in your case, this treatmnet takes 3-5years of tenofovir and then another 2 years tenofovir+peginterferon, 50% clear first year and 90% lower hbsag by first year.
Hello Friends,
I have chronic Hep-B and I discovered it 3 years back since last 1 year+ I have been taking Tenofovir 300mg and in my last blood work following were the results:
1. HEPATITIS BE AB Positive
2. HEPATITIS BS AG REACTIVE
3. HEPATITIS BS Ab QUAL NON-REACTIVE
4. HBV DNA QUANT. PCR NOT DETECTED
5. CREATININE level 1.36
6. AST 27

t really given much say in the matter, as the pancreatitis was a nasty attack and I was strongly advised to get my gallbladder out asap after it. It was a straightforward procedure, with no after effects. I can't really say I felt better, because apart from the pancreatitis incident, I never had any problems beforehand! I do sometimes suffer with the "dumping syndrome" which, whilst unpleasant, doesn't worry me too much as I believe it's normal.
t seem to care about the Pneumobilia and one Dr seemed to think its normal and I might have it forever, but I am concerned especially about possible infection coming from the small bowel into the Biliary hepatic vessels and also can this air be causing the ongoing Pancreatitis?

sue_th, I have been there and I have my little boy, he is very healthy with no HBV. Are you on any anitiviral treatment. For pregnancy, they advice Tenofovir.
CMX157 decreased circulating levels of tenofovir, lowered systemic exposure and reduced the potential for renal and bone side effects."
Unfortunately, the reports by these financial advisors/reporters frequently lack the necessary precision. In this case the difference would be critical. I am not sure at this point what to trust, since in some presentations the company actually seemingly used simple Tenofovir, not TDF as a comparison drug.
