Response from Dr. Holodniy
All of those laboratory results and scan point to some kind of active liver abnormality. But you don't indicate what other viral hepatitis tests were performed and their results. Thus, it is difficult to determine at this point what the cause of these abnormalities might be and whether antiviral treatment or some other kind of treatment is indicated. | |||||||||
