Hepatitis B Support Group
Hepatitis B virus infection may either be acute (self-limited) or chronic (long-standing). Persons with self-limited infection clear the infection spontaneously within weeks to months. There are currently several treatments for chronic hepatitis B that can increase a person's chance of clearing the infection.
Best of luck you guys.

by the way, . alt isi 65 and ast is 34. but protien has increased to 8.4 and globuin has increased to 4.2 . any idea ...
I'm sorry that I know virtually nothing about HBV. I cleared it on my own and just have the antibodies to indicate that at some time I had it, but was never sick.
My issue is HCV and I'm treating it as we speak. I'm doing 24 weeks of triple therapy and have been undetected since before week 4, with 5 weeks left of the 24 week total. My HCV doc said that I am in the 93 percitile who will likely be cured. I started HCV treatment with normal alt and ast and a viral load of 15,900 which is minimal. HCV TX usually start at about 1.5 mil VL. My reason for treating is the havoc that HCV has done to my immune system, not the damage to my liver. My Liver scores were 1 and 1 only confirmed by biopsy, but I have a totally wacked out immune system.
I hope that you are able to clear the HBV by yourself. The main thing that my HCV doc told me was DO NOT DRINK a drop of alcohol. NOT one drop and watch the tylenol. 2000 mg max a day.
If you have NOT been tested for HCV, please do so. It is far worse of a virus than HBV is and in combo, it's a real nasty bastard!
Take care,
