HI well come to HCM
You have not specified weather hepatitis b you have is after renal failure, at times it
can occure due to dalysis even.To cure the haepatitis b is it is active thna symptomatic
tereatment with anti viral therapy can help to cure the patient. Even after cure from
acure ill ness carrier stage may persists for which again you may need anti viral drug
to irradicate the carrier stage. So better you consult gastro enterologist who will
guide you for all this. Thanks

Hello.welcome.The treatment for hepatitis B can be done by Interferon and antivirals successfully in dialysis patients.Gastrolenterologist and nephrologist have to work in tandem.Good luck.
