I have been detecting HBS Ag positive since past 10 years. How do I get cured of it?

Prolonged HBS Ag positives indicate that you have a chronic infection with hepatitis B. There are treatment options available for chronic hep B; many of the same drugs are used as are used for hep C. The treatments tend to last a long time, are expensive, and many have unpleasant side effects. It is best to discuss the treatment options with your doctor.

A cure (which means hep C virus levels are no longer detectable during and after six months of finishing treatment) is dependent on which genotype of virus you have, whether you follow your dosing instructions correctly, and then luck. For genotype 1, the most common type found in the US and also the hardest to treat, a cure can be achieved in 40-60% of cases. Other genotypes have a higher response rate. Even if you don't completely get rid of the virus the treatment will greatly slow the rate of damage the hep C virus is causing to your liver. The treatment will cause flu like symptoms and fatigue so be prepared. good luck\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis/c/faq.htm

My advise is to go to a medical university. My friend always had either a false positive result or a negative. She went to the University of Georgia medical center and was diagnosed with Lupus. A medical university uses more updated procedures and equipment. If it seems your size is greater than your sister, mother, aunt, or grandmother when they were your age, the university medical center will be happy to help you. I am sure you are up to date on all the  symptoms.  Good luck!

No, but a man I know who had it has been in remission for over 5 years.  Best wishes.  It must be scary wondering if it will come back.\n\nThink positively and get lots of exercise to boost your immune system!!

I had the same problem, but before I tell u my story, did you test him against all the Hepatitis strands (A,B &C) if u did and negative then let me tell u my story, could apply to him.\n\nI spent months doing tests and I visited around 6 different doctors trying to find out what was wrong with my liver. Of course, I took the tests over and over again in different labs because liver tests are often not very accurate so I had to make sure.\n\nAnyways, to cut a long story short I discovered that I had no physical disease but I had a hereditary problem called "fatty liver syndrome" this bascially means that my liver accumulates fats more than normal people. There is no cure, what you can do is cut down on fatty food like cheese, burgers, milk, pizza etc and lose weight. In other words switch to healthy food, this is not easy of course, but it is a must to avoid damage to the liver. \n\nTalk to your doctor about fatty liver syndrome and check with his parents to see if they had a similar condition, better yet have them tested because it is hereiditary.\n\nGood luck.

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is one of the most frequently performed tests for HBV. This HBV antigen is the earliest indicator of an active hepatitis B infection. This antigen may be present before symptoms of an HBV infection are present. If this antigen level remains high for more than 6 months, then you will probably become a carrier of HBV, meaning you can transmit it to others throughout your life. \nHepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) is also one of the most common tests for HBV. Usually this antibody appears about 4 weeks after HBsAg disappears and means that the infection is at the end of its active stage and you cannot pass the virus to others (you are no longer contagious). This antibody also protects you from getting HBV again in the future. The test is done to determine the need for vaccination; the antibody will be present after receiving the HBV vaccine series, showing that you have protection (immunity) from the virus. Occasionally your test may show that you have both the HBsAb and HBsAg antibodies; in this case, you are still contagious. \nHepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg). Currently, there is no test to find this antigen. \nHepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) is an antibody to the hepatitis B core antigen. This antibody appears about 1 month after an active HBV infection. It can be found in people who had an infection in the past and in those with long-term (chronic) HBV. It usually is present for life. \nHepatitis B core antibody IgM (HBcAbIgM) is also an antibody to the hepatitis B core antigen. It shows a recent infection in the last 6 months. \nHepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) is an HBV protein that is only present during an active HBV infection. This test determines how contagious you are. Testing for this antigen can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for HBV. \nHepatitis B e-antibody (HBeAb) shows that the active stage of the HBV infection is almost over and your risk of being contagious is greatly reduced. HBeAb is usually present during chronic HBV infections. \nHBV DNA testing finds genetic material (DNA) from the hepatitis B virus. Currently, quantitative HBV DNA tests are done. A high HBV DNA level means that the virus is multiplying in your body and you are very contagious. If you have a chronic HBV infection, an elevated viral DNA level means you are at an increased risk for chronic hepatitis and may want to consider treatment with medications. Testing for HBV DNA also is important to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for chronic HBV infection. HBV DNA testing is a more sensitive test than HBeAg (above) for detecting HBV in the blood

lf all  your liver enzymes are normal,then you have the passive and not active condition....ie you are a CARRIER.\nThe best thing is to let it be.But let your spouse/partner get the vaccination so that he/she does'nt get infected.\nWhen (if ever) your liver enzymes become abnormal,drug therapy with Zidovudine helps\nInterferron therapy is the last line of treatment.\nJust a tip--if you've been a healthy carrier for more than 3 years, chances are that you'll stay that way for the rest of your life.

There are many.  First I would write down when and what you are doing when this happens.  Arthritis, RSD, Hypocalcimeia,,, I have had the same thing and it took two years before the doctors could do tests and eliminate each.  Surgery and alot of work from myself keeping a daily notebook regarding my symptoms.  In the end I had all of the ones I mentioned.  You need a good doctor of immunology who can tests and find out exactly what needs to be done and find a course of treatment.

Then get another doctor.  No one on the internet can make this diagnosis for you, a doctor needs to measure your blood levels and do other tests.

Honestly, you need to speak with your hematologist.  I also have itp, and after a bad spell in 2002 and transfusions followed by steroids, luckily, my levels have been fairly steady, in the 65k-90k range generally.  I'd make sure that you are taking regular vitamins and just speak with your Dr.  Good luck!

Althought many doctors are still skeptical and there is no definitive test, the symptoms and the fact that your doctor says its post viral indicate he may think it is Chronic Fatigue Syndrom, also known as ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), PVFS (Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome) or CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue Imune Dysfunction Syndrome).  Go back to your doctor, get clarification, if this is what you have, you are lucky you got diagnosed early.  You will need to mainly do your own research and find a doctor who is sympathetic rather than skeptical.  You will have to learn to pace yourself and limit yourself to what you can do before you get tired.  There is still so much unknown about this.  Ihave had it at least 12 years, the last 8 so severely I am often bedbound, but was only diagnosed last year.  I have a friend who had it mild to moderately and has made a full recovery, though it took her four years.  If your doctor says rest, he aint kidding.  Ask him to refer you to a specialist in this condition, not just a neurologist.
