Stay positive! It s important! Wait for further results. Maybe some results are not correct, depends who read your liver biopsy. Anyway, how was your lifestyle in last 2 years? Did you drunk? Smoke? Other blood results?

fibroscan 11.9 is high, it correlates with your last biopsy. maybe first biopsy was inaccurate. anyway in my opinion the things you must do is first continue your medication, it is very important. you must also have a very strict diet, lose weight if you are overweight, (no alcohol,no smoking, limit saturated fats strictly, take a a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables and antioxidant supplements, you can find a lot of information about these at the old posts) and take vit d3 supplement as 10000 IU  per day. take fibroscan at 3-6 months interval and i am sure it will go down very quickly.

this results are not looking consistent. I advise you to take a fibroscan now and every three - six months, despite your high alt value it will a better way to follow up your liver state periodically.

Hi,
This is our goal, to get anti hbs, but is hard to receive on antivirals. Wait for your results, than share it. I think you should continue with your tnv, maybe it will reverse your fibrose score. Good luck!
