Any Cure on Hep B? May 22, 2005 I am a married male. Last December, I have undergone Hepatitis Panel and here are the results: HB Surface Antigen - Reactive (Confirmed) Antibody to HB Surface Antigen - Non Reactive Igm Antibody HP A virus - Non Reactive Igm Antibody to HB Core Antigen - Non Reactive HP Be Antigen - Non Reactive Antibody to HP Be Antigen - Reactive (Confirmed) Antibody to Hepatitis C - Non Reactive My ALT test result is 34(0-66). My question is, is there any chance of getting cured from this ailment? What are your recommended diets and foods to avoid developing cancer on the liver or cirrhosis.. Thank you |

 Two tests are missing - I suspect your hepatitis B core antibody is positive for IgG. If so, it appears that you may have already seroconverted your HBeantibody. Your normal liver function tests seem to support this as well. I suspect you don't have any virus in your blood, but I don't see a HBVDNA level, which is important in ruling out viremia and HBeAntigen negative infection. I would only recommend that you stay away from alcohol. Dr. McGovern | ||||||||
