We advise you to not discontinue any treatment course on your own, especially that related to antivirals for hepatitis B. Hepatitis B treatment can also be life-long in some cases.
We recommend you to see a liver specialist, then discuss all available options, as well as their risk/side effects/patients eligibility/pre-operative measures/tips to deal with side effects as well as your health conditions & family hisotry, and then allow the specialist to tailor your treatment for you.

Your stomach may collect water if the liver is not working. That can also cause bloating and discomfort. Signs could include fatigue, poor appetite, or swelling of the belly. Alcohol is just one thing that damages livers – fatty foods and certain medications do too. A gastroenterologist will tell you what to eat but stay off the booze and take drugs as directed.

You have a transplanted kidney, and your liver has higher GGT. This is an enzyme that indicates liver issues. Additionally, you have early-stage fatty liver, where excess fat accumulates in liver cells. Fatigue, abdominal discomfort, and jaundice are possible symptoms. Maintaining a nutritious diet and regular exercise can be beneficial. However, consulting your healthcare team is crucial

A fibroscan result with a kPa of 8.8 and a cap of 325 points towards liver issues. This can happen due to fatty liver, infections, or excessive drinking. Symptoms include tiredness, swelling in the belly, and yellow skin. To reverse it, focus on a healthy diet, exercise, and avoiding alcohol. Regular visits to a liver specialist will ensure that progress is monitored.
