Patient: Dear Sir,  I m 39yrs old, weight - 62k height- 5.5inch . I have Hep B virus. Recently I checked below  HBV DNA - Positive HBV DNA copies / ml -  49450 ( pls. advise the normal range) S. ALT (SCPT) - 27.0 U/L  ( Nor. Range- upto42 ) S. Creatinine - 90.0 micron mol/.L ( Nor. Range- 60 ~130 ) AFP (Alpha-Feto-Protein) -2.81ng/ml HBeAg - Negative  I dont feel any other problem right now and just start the treatment here in Bangladesh. We can not discuss with doctor more as they are very busy and spend few minutes for a patient. Here one physician advised to take the medicine  --  Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300mg -- One/daily.  Doctor advise to take long time only.  Is HEP B curable or what is the function of this medicine ? Is there any side affect ? Pls. advise.  Pls. advise Doctor: Hi thanks for contacting HCM.This drug you have mentioned prevent viral multiplication when disease is in active stage.You have positive HBV DNA ...Here yes this drug can be taken....But it is not guaranteed that cure will there.Main aim in carrier or chronic hepatitis is to prevent complications..Take low fat diet.Trans fat like cheese, butter , non veg less.Avoid alcohol.Papaiya like fruit good.Grined carrot and spinach leaves juice useful Hope your concern solved...Dr.Parth Goswami
