Diagnosed With Heptatis B. Can Any Online Doctor Help Me?
I am diagnosed with Heptatis B in last two years. Although, my viral load is high (used to be over a million but in past few months measured at 350,000), I am not on any kind of medication and so far my liver enzymes are normal (every three months I do blood test for LE). My Hepatologist has retired and now I am looking for another one. My question from you is this, based on this brief information I have given, what would you recommend? Thank you kindly,

Hi, you are a hepatitis B positive since 2 years, and you are not using any medicine with your doctors advise or individual reasoning. I am asking because the virus is a virulent and wait for an opertunity to attack the patient.
During any convalacence it may flare. I prefer to give to my patients the supportive therapy to the liver, so that the patient may not be at risk.
If it is your hepatologists openion he will be the better judge.
Thank you.
