• Hepatitis B carriers are persons who carry the hepatitis B virus in their blood but do not experience symptoms. Between 6% and 10% of persons infected with the virus will become carriers and will be able to infect others without knowing it.
• A considerable proportion of chronic hepatitis B (HBV) patients are in the inactive carrier state, which is characterised by normal transaminase levels, limited viral replication, and little liver necroinflammatory activity. After at least one year of frequent monitoring, a diagnosis is made, and lifelong follow-up is required to ensure that this status is maintained.
• In case there is no improvement in HBVDNA levels, consult your expert but do not stop the medication on your own.
• Drugs prescribed such as Tafero (tenofovir) acts by ceasing the production of new viruses, blocks or slows viral proliferation in human cells, and eliminates the infection and also boost the level of CD4 cells (white blood cells that fight infection) in your blood. Entaliv (entecavir) acts by inhibiting the viral replications processes like reverse transcription, DNA replication and transcription.
• Seek the advice of a hepatologist so that your treatment may be adjusted according to your specific needs and preferences.

My brother has liver cirrhosis. Can ge be cured if he undergo stem cell therapy?
Male | 54
There's no definitive cure for liver cirrhosis. It is a condition where healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, and this damage is irreversible. Stem cell therapy is still under research and clinical trials, but it is not yet considered a standard treatment for liver cirrhosis.

Male | 32
The liver appears enlarged and has an abnormality in the scan; the gallbladder has a distended wall; the spleen is large and looks different; there is some extra fluid in the abdomen known as ascites. These may be due to various conditions such as infections, liver diseases, or heart problems. Eating well, keeping fit, and seeing your hepatologist regularly can help control these things.

What amount of s.g.p.t value to normal liver
Male | 18
When we assess S.L.T. the S.G.P.T level is being analyzed. A normal S.G.P.T level for a healthy liver is below 40 units per liter. Higher levels of the liver could indicate that it is not healthy. Signs like weakness, jaundice, or the yellowing of the skin, are some of the symptoms. Drinking too much alcohol or having a fatty liver are among the causes. To get better, drink less of alcohol and eat a diet full of vegetables.

I am 42 years old I have HBV and I want medicine to cure.how can I get your consultation
Male | 42
HBV is a viral infection that can cause liver damage. Possible signs are weariness, jaundice (yellow skin or eyes), and abdomen discomfort. This virus is transmitted through direct contact with blood or fluids from an infected person. Medication can help to control the virus, but no cure is available. I suggest visiting a hepatologist if you want to get a diagnosis and treatment plan.

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

i am 86 year old, i have liver disease which is casing my leg and stomach to swollen and itching of the body, please which drugs should i buy
Male | 86
You are exhibiting the symptoms of liver disease. Swollen legs and stomach, along with body itching, are the symptoms of people with the said condition. The entire process of removing toxins from the body and the liver's poor functioning that leads to the development of these symptoms must be considered. At the pharmacy, you can purchase medications for your liver that can help you reduce the swelling caused by your liver, for instance, diuretics and antihistamines. But I insist you seek medical help before getting any treatment.

my dad has been diagnosed with fatty liver and he is diabetic too. can it be cured without liver transplant?
Male | 60
A fatty liver occurs when too much fat builds up in the liver, which can be caused by factors like obesity and diabetes. The good news is that a fatty liver can often be managed with lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and controlling blood sugar levels. Your dad should work closely with a hepatologist to create a plan that's right for him. With the right steps and care, the fatty liver can improve without the need for a liver transplant.

Hepatitis B is a virus that mainly affects the liver. Tiredness, jaundice (yellow skin), and stomach pain are some possible causes. Your fiancée has been treated and it is generally safe to have sex, but it is important to use protection such as condoms to minimize the risk of spreading the virus.
