Bridging Fibrosis

Things seemed to have changed since my husbands liver biopsy 7 years ago. He was noted to have bridging fibrosis at the time, and said his liver disease was not advanced, but he needed to be careful. Now I am reading that people with bridging fibrosis are closer to the end stage liver disease

That is right. He should get a biopsy. Does he have hepC?

[idgett]

yes he does, his viral load is now 2.7 million. He is type 1a I think (which ever one that does not respond well to treatment) he is also getting red splotches on his arms and chest.

Are the red splotches caused by burst blood vessels?

[gauf]

He needs to start planning on treating.  Those splotches could (and I stress could, but not necessarily) be a sign of advanced liver disease. Don't panic, just methodically and diligently start to get educated on what HepC and treatment entails. You should start here: http://www.janis7hepc.com

We are here and loaded with experience. Don't be afraid to ask anything.

Gods Peace.
