Hey, I'm a bit worried about something. My liver has been described as a "fetty lever" or something like that. I'm not sure what this means, but should I be concerned about it? Is it something that could be harmful to my liver? And if it is, what kind of treatment or steps should I be looking into to address it? I'm just trying to figure out how serious this is. Thanks!

My 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

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with some serious liver issues after starting my TB treatment. It all began with a fever right from the first dose, and even though I stopped the medication 12 days ago, the fever hasn't gone away. I'm worried about hepatotoxicity and what this means for my treatment. Do I really need to stop the TB meds completely? And if my liver's already damaged, how do I go about healing it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

yes you should stop that particular drug. If you stop the drug ,your liver will automatically get cured
