Hello. Thanks for asking query at HCM.

As I understand you are suffering from chronic hepatitis B (E antigen negative), currently on PEG IFN therapy. You have not given details of the baseline DNA level or at the end of 12 week therapy.

Basic aim of chonic hepatitis B treatment is bring down the DNA level to 0(NIL), normalise SGPT (ALT) and prevent the chances of chronic liver disease or liver cancer. Secondary aim is to get HBsAg negative, which may not happen to everybody who is treated. It may happen in about 7-8% of those who are treated with PEG IFN, but defenitely primary objectives of treatment are more important and will happen. You can also discuss these things with your hepatologist who initiated the treatment.

Take care.
