Hello

Thanks for asking query on HCM. You have HBsAg positive status and fatty liver on USG, AST of 70 and ALT of 180. This is insufficient data for me to opine on the treatment plan. The rise in AST and ALT may be due to
hepatitis B or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, treatment of which are entirely different or a combination of both the factors. I would suggest you to undergo - HBV DNA (quntitative) and E antigen testing. After this I would be able to opine on the treatment.

If the said injection is peg interferon and if you dont want to take, there are other alternative tablets which are simple to take. But the recommendations can only be made after the blood reports.

Take care
