Treat now or later for Hep C type 1b
by soooby, Sep 22, 2008 05:18PM
Just diagnosed with Hep C type 1B, had Ultra sound, indicates no liver disease, also had a liver biopsy and it indicates I have some fibrous expansion in most portal areas with occasional portal to portal bridging, (ISHAK stage 3 of 6 at least) no iron or PAS/D positive globules are present. Have a great doctor at Mass General and going for second option at Beth Israel. My HCA RNA Qant, TMA value is 13,400,000, my ALT is 67H and AST 44H. Trying to way out my options to treat now or wait for current study that has greater success in treating my type of Help.
