Have had chronic Hep B w/cirrohsis (Childs A) since 1996. Took interferon (Intron A - treatment in 1996; All LFTs (AFP, DNA by PCR, ALT/AST) have been w/i normal range since. Also, Ultra Sounds have not indicated evidence of mass; just multiple cysts. However, last visit with GI doc one test out of wack, i.e., Ammonia test was abnormal and ultrasound of liver indicated inflammation. But the DNA, ALT/AST, TBIL, AFP etc were all still w/i the normal range. Lactulose was prescribed (oral solution - 20 mgs twice daily for 6 weeks).
Is it possible for the lactulose to clear the toxins from my bloodsteam and the inflamation in my liver to subside?
