Why ultrasound shows coarse?
I am 36 ys male learned about my hep b status 9 years back. From then on I was doing liver function tests, hbv quant dna and ultrasound every six months. Results were well within normal (eg ALT always less than 25 and my dna never exceeded 750 IU/ml ). The last two US of liver showed coarse and my doctor suspected fibrosis, but biopsy came out normal (no inflammation or scarring). My doctor recommended no treatment and decided to continue monitoring. I learned about fibroscan in this forum. My question is can fibroscan show a different result than biopsy, and does the experts here think I am on the correct track with respect to HBV treatment? Please let me know. Thanks!
