what antivirals is he taking?only tenofovir or entecavir are safe check if he is under one of these

ast/alt is too high for a cirrhotic liver, is hbvdna below 6iu/ml?

hepatitistechnologies supplements can regress fibrosis if also hbvdna is undetactable, check these supplements on google advancedliferesearch or hepatitistechnologies

adefovir is not a firstline hbv drug because it just makes hbv mutations to resistance and it is highly toxic, consider changing doctor right away

development of resistance for a cirrhotic means high risk of death, you should cosnider changing to tenofovir as soon as possible

hbvdna below 5iu/ml is ok but hbvdna is probably not low enough in the liver and ast/alt are still high probably because of this
