Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). Presently with the available treatment for Hepatitis B like Hepdoze which have been prescribed to your father is one of the best medicine. Present treatment cannot make HBsAg negative, only there is around 5% chance of complete disappearance of virus from body. He has developed cirrhosis which is irreversible. You may add tablet udiliv 300mg twice a day. Ihope he has not developed ascites or altered behaviour (Hepatic encephalopathy) till now. So he has good prognosis overall. No other treatment is available at present. You have to understand that.
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
