Hello and welcome to the forum.
You posted in the Hepatitis C forum so I assume you have Hepatitis C.
May I ask which Genotype you have?The treatments are different depending on which Genotype you have.
Also, are you under the care of a qualified Hepatologist who is experienced in treating people with Hepatitis C? The reason I ask is because you said you have bridging fibrosis according to your biopsy. Did the biopsy give a grade and a stage?
"S3 is severe fibrosis. At this stage, there is fibrostic bridging between portal areas and between portal areas and center veins."
If you can tell us your Genotype, then someone can tell you which treatment you would be taking.
'"Histological (biopsy) diagnosis classifies the severity of fibrosis into five stages, S0 to S4.
S0 means no fibrosis. S4 is cirrhosis. In between, S1 is a mild fibrosis only seen at the portal area. S2 is a moderate stage of fibrosis, between portal areas, but without the destruction of the lobular structure. S3 is severe fibrosis. At this stage, there is fibrostic bridging between portal areas and between portal areas and center veins. At S4, in addition to S3's changes, there are pseudo-lobules formed and this stage is the final stage, cirrhosis."
