A member asked:

What is the life expetancy of chronic hepatitis b patient?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Quite variable: Some have very indolent, low grade infection with little liver damage and those have an essentially normal life span. Others have much more inflammation in their livers that lead to scarring, cirrhosis and possibly liver cancer. Early intervention in these latter cases can prevent a bad outcome. Many people with chronic hbv die with it, not of it.
