I'm really concerned about my cousin's dad. He's dealing with mild hepatomegaly and a grade 1 fatty liver, plus he's got total lung damage. The doctors have basically said there's not much hope and mentioned we might only have as little as 15 to 30 days. Is there anything we can do or try? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Grade 1 hepatomegaly isnt life threatening usually. U should elaborate on the lung condition or any other underlying issue that hes facing.

Question

I'm a bit concerned about understanding the difference between the HBsAg test done by the ELISA method and the ELFA method. My wife is HBsAg positive and she's been getting tested every 12 weeks. Her ELFA test results keep changing. If the percentage in the results is decreasing, does that mean she's getting better? Any insights on this would be really helpful.

Question

I'm really concerned because my father's HSB Ag test came back positive, and we just got his ultrasound results. Most of the findings look okay, but it mentioned that the echotexture of his liver is slightly altered. Should we be worried about that? Is this something serious or just a minor issue?

Question

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?
