View allMy father just got his hepatitis B report positive for the first time - he's 59 with HBsAg 300, anti-HBc 11.93, and anti-HBc IgM negative. The test was done before his eye surgery and he has no symptoms right now. Since we can't visit the hospital easily due to COVID, what should be our next steps? When does treatment usually start for cases like his and what are the best treatment options available? We live near Vellore in Tamil Nadu - any guidance would be really helpful
Your father's Hepatitis B test result (HBsAg positive, anti-HBc positive, anti-HBc IgM negative) indicates a chronic Hepatitis B infection. The first step is to consult a doctor to discuss treatment options, even if he's asymptomatic, as treatment can help manage the infection and prevent long-term complications

I'm really worried about my friend, she's been diagnosed with a liver hemangioma and after getting some blood tests and a CT scan, it turns out there's a small tumor on her liver. She's also dealing with low blood sugar levels. Could you offer any advice or information on what steps we should take next?
f liver cancer is found early, is small and it has not spread, you may be able to have surgery to remove it. Surgery will remove part or all of your liver. If it's all removed you will need a liver transplant to replace your liver with a donated one.Some liver tumors make hormones that act on organs other than the liver which causes hypoglycaemia

I'm dealing with liver cirrhosis and its been really tough these past two months. My doctor mentioned that about 70% of my liver is scarred, but todays report showed the left lobe of my liver is enlarging. Is that a sign of improvement? Also, I need some advice on how to boost my albumin levels since they're currently at 3.6. Can you suggest a diet or any specific foods to help with that?
