How to decrease the hepa b level of a esrd patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a hepatologist: A primary care doctor, plus a hepatologist (liver specialist) or an infectious disease specialist, provide the care of hepb carriers. Antivirals like interferon, adefovir, entecavir, lamivudine, telbivudine, and tenofovir have been used. The specialists know which combinations of meds work better in which patients. The virus can be resistant to some of the meds. Lab tests are checked regularly.
