dammed doctors i dont understand why they feed hbv virus mutations especially in cirrhosis patients where mutations can be easily deadly
entecavir cannot be used in people who used lamivudine because useless, etv will make other 3 mutations by time please add tenofovir as soon as possible, tenofovir is the only one without hbv mutations/resistance
once started tenofovir check kidneys function because kidneys are damaged ofetn on cirrhosis (creatinine before starting tenofovir and fter weekly
Considering Gilead has almost approved TAF. Can we cut the TDF tablet in half? Just wanted to ask some of the knowledgable guys.
it is rationale to use the most potent ones like tenofovir or entecavir
all other patients had hbsag after first year so low that it may go on and clear even with no therapies, hbsag around 10-30iu/ml, one around 300iu/ml
one patient, did not respond, this patient was on adefovir+lamivudine, non response may be due to the use of thee weaker drugs and who knows maybe using tenofovir or tenofovir+entecavir, anyway it is just one who did not respond and he will be able to retry interferon later o
I have no symptoms and I have always being feeling well all my life. I have no kidney problems; but based on the research that I have done so far, I discovered that I may develop Kidney problems by using Tenofovir. Please help.

i would love to have new acquaintances who have the same situation as I am, share the experiences and the recovery and way of life. i am scared, i have to admit. i did make a sort of half serious statement that i am giving myself until 50 but this reality struck me and i want to hear hope from those who have been living with it.
> the gastroenterologist, during the first follow up was somehow in a relaxed state during our conversation.
i really dont understand why use of truvada which is simply tenofovir plus ftc in one pill, tenofovir is the most potent drug against hbv replication and has no resistance so truvada has meaning as a business way to make money from patients with only side effects added to patients, truvada is more toxic on kidneys than tenofovir monotherapy
the only thing that may justify your doctor is the need to suppress hbv very fast in weeks instead of a couple of months but 151000iu/ml maybe suppressed in
