A member asked:
How long it will take to form cirrosis of liver from early fibrosis?in hep b alone.my age is 20 yrs.and osteosarcoma patient treated wid chemo.

It depends: Many lifelong hepatitis B carriers never get any fibrosis. Usually the infection can be managed with today's treatments, and it's likely that in the future it may be curable. Your Liv52 is a health fraud, but I'm very pleased you were able to survive your osteosarcoma. Hang on, continue to show the extraordinary bravery that you already have, and enjoy each day. Best wishes.

Does Alcohol Liver Disease = Cirrhosis. Negative for Hep A,B,C. Could it be a lesser stage of fibrosis? Anything potentially reversible? I am abstinent btw. Bilirubin is not high, albumin normal. No symptoms?
Just a general doubt: Does an early liver fibrosis always progress to cirrhosis or does it get halted if not reversed once the underlying cause is treated, provided the overall liver structure is still intact?
If parts of a liver is removed from a cirrhosis patient who was a Hep B carrier but is now 100% Hep B immune, will "normal" liver tissue be regrown?
