A fibrosis score of F2 means you have some amount of liver scarring. While any amount of liver damage is not desirable you have only a small amount of damage. If the cause of liver damage can be removed completely with a fibrosis score of only F2 odds are very good your liver will be able to heal to similar to someone who has beber had any amount of liver damage. So if you drink alcohol stop, if you are overweight or obese try to lose weight as having excess body fat can also cause fatty liver. If you have hepatitis B or hepatitis C treating those viruses will greatly help your liver.

As far as the relative merits of a given medicine for hepatitis B you could try asking your question in the hepatitis B forum.

Please note this is a forum not a chat room members come and go. Asking the same questions repeatedly won’t get you an answer any faster. Just ask your question and wait for a response it could be several days.
