| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 Depending slightly on whose scoring system is being used, grade looks at inflammation and stage looks at fibrosis. Grade 2 indicates moderate inflammation with occasional liver cell necrosis and stage 4 would indicate probable or definite cirrhosis. Treatment can be effective but this requires a more detailed discussion with your doctor. | ||||||||
