Since, I am in Delhi, arranged best possible treatments from Max Hospital, ILBS & Apollo hospital. But all doctors clearly told me.... only option left is Liver Transplantation. I tried best for healthy & maching Liver but couldn't succeeded so far. Apart from Allopathic, I approached Professor & Head of the department Homeo- pathy and very renowned Ayurvedic doctor. All the doctors tried their best for recovery & I noticed the remarkable change in Fibroscan reports. ( Attaching both reports). But some problems remained as it is like.... Whole body itching, Loss of Stamina/vigour. My Whole body PLATELETS not improving. My Protine difficencies & Albumin lebel not satisfactory. For avoiding loss of Albumin, doctor recommends use of Hunan Albumin Interavenus Injections after intervalbof 15 days. Heavy weaknesses & Constipation. I spent my all retirement funds for treatments on Continuous doctor's consultations, repeated tests, Fibroscans, Ultrasounds, Costly Medicines, Admissions etc & having lot of financial crises. Even though life was going ok with some little problems. Suddenly on 27th December -23, when I was being injected Albumin, suddenly Some drops of Blood noticed on my tongue and I stopped using Albumin & informed Apollo Hospital Doctor, He suggested, I should get an emergency admission in nearby Hospital. So I got admitted in Max hospital, where my new problems were started during treatments. As per Max Doctors, my heart, Lungs, Kidneys, Pancreas were not functioning normal & I started feeling Memory loss. The doctors were telling that no chances of survival now & advised family to allow to put me on ventilator but my son hesitated & in same condition, he got me Apollo Hospital in mid night. I think Max hospital only seen their monotary benefits & recovered around 14.00 lacs for treatment through Insurance co. Then slowly slowly, I got recovery & after a weak, I got recovery . Sir, I am having no pain in and around Abdomen area, no swelling anywhere. For checking Ascites, doctors asked me to take half tablets of Lessilactone. Only feeling heavy Weekness, loss of stamina. I approached one of my doctor relative & he said as per MELD SCORE of 16, no immediate Transplant is advisable. Please see my attached reports & put your comments, whether, I may survive 5-6 years with this problem without Transplantation. I shall take video consultation with you but before that, I informed my few details to you for your better assessments & reply.

Sir can fibrosis at F3 can never reversed to F0 Liver

Male | 23

Fibrosis stage F3 refers to some serious scarring in your liver which is not good. The same thing can come from illnesses such as hepatitis or drinking too much. The good news is with the right treatment the fibrosis can improve and even revert to a healthier stage like F0. Eating a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol, and taking prescribed medications can all help in this process.

HbsAg positive hai 2.87 hai

Male | 21

A positive test result for the presence of HBsAg at 2.87 or above indicates potential infection with Hepatitis B virus. Symptoms may include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing skin/eyes), and abdominal pain. The disease is spread through contact with infected blood or other body fluids so if you think you may have been at risk it's best to get screened as soon as possible.

My father has jaundice for 1 month. Bilirubin level 14. Few days ago father was given 5 blood.. But now hemoglobin levels is 6. Why the hemoglobin decreasing? What is the risk?

Male | 73

The decrease in hemoglobin could be due to continued blood loss, reduced red blood cell production, or hemolysis. Low hemoglobin levels can lead to fatigue, weakness, and other health risks. So consult his doctor soon for proper treatment.

Last 8 month before i have checked blood test, That result is showing hbsag is positive (Elisa test 4456). Yesterday i checked blood test Hbsag is positive and value is 5546). How to reduce the value and result is negative. If any medicine and treatment.

Male | 29

The HBsAg test is positive, which means you have been infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). To manage this, it's important to follow your doctor's treatment plan, including taking antiviral medications regularly. These medications can help reduce the viral load in your body. Along with a healthy lifestyle, this approach can help control the infection and potentially lead to a negative result in future tests.

Sir, there was pus in my liver, then I got the treatment done in LIBS hospital and they removed the pus through operation, then I got cured but there is pain in my right shoulder blade and on the opposite chest side too, I went through the operation. When I asked the doctor after two months, he said that it might be due to gas, but I still have pain in the shoulder blade.

Male | 29

The pus was successfully removed from your liver. However, you still have pain in your right shoulder blade and chest. Sometimes, gas can get trapped in the body after surgery, causing discomfort. However ongoing pain in these areas could also be a sign of muscle strain or inflammation. It’s important to inform your doctor so they can investigate further and find ways to relieve the pain.

Male | 21

I would suggest refraining from nonvegetarian foods until your liver has 100% recovered from the rupture. While recovering, it is also important to eat a balanced and healthy diet that will help in the liver’s recovery. Talk to your doctor for guidelines

Pricked with a needle after the patient. She was tested for antibodies to hepatitis C and accidentally tested for antibodies to the hepatitis B virus surface antigen after 4 months (result 2.38, at a rate of 10 IU/ ml of blood).1. Can I calm down a little bit about hepatitis B? 2. Can I do an express hepatitis test?3.If blood gets on the immediate skin, is this exactly a risk for infection?

Female | 30

Your hepatitis B virus surface antigen result is 2.38, which is below the normal threshold of 10 IU/ml, indicating you're likely not infected. So, you don't need to worry much about hepatitis B. If you want further reassurance, you can take a quick express test for fast results. The risk of infection from blood on your skin depends on factors like the amount of blood, any existing cuts, and how quickly you clean it off. Usually, brief contact with blood on the skin doesn't pose a high risk of hepatitis B infection. Overall, your levels are normal, so you can relax. But if you're still concerned, an express test can provide peace of mind.

Anti - HBs -Ag (antibody to Au antigen ) Results positive . That means what

Male | 26

You are diagnosed with antibodies that are against the hepatitis B surface antigen which means you are being protected from hepatitis B. It means your body has successfully fought off hepatitis B infection or you have been vaccinated against it. You may not have any symptoms, but it's important to keep your health by eating healthily, exercising, and avoiding alcohol to keep your liver in good shape. Ensure to get regular check-ups with your healthcare provider to monitor your health.
