His viral load is originally 63 million and went down to 123 thousand after being put on a medication called entecavir for a year.The last result of his lab test is saying its undetectable.What does it mean?Is it gonna slow down the progression of his cirrhosis?
It means it slows down the progression of his hepatitis B and of his cirrhosis. That is if his cirrhosis has not progressed to far. Also, following a healthy diet and avoiding alcohol are essential because the body needs all the nutrients it can get, and alcohol will only lead to more liver damage. Light physical activity can help stop or delay cirrhosis as well.
I have gone through years of HCV and cirrhosis. I had a liver transplant two years ago. Recovery is not always swift, but being alive is a good thing.
