Hello everyone,
Recently, I went through two blood tests, the first of which confirmed that I was hbsag positive, and the second of which confirmed that I was chronic (VL: 422,000/cc). The doctor recommended that I go in for a liver biopsy, but I am really very afraid because the process looks painful and risky. I don't know what these figures really mean. Could someone please explain to me how bad that is and if the biopsy is really necessary before undergoing treatment?
