hi everyone,
to add to fibroscan's stories my own.
I had 2 fibroscans; first 2010 , score 8.1pKA & second in 2015, score 8.7pKA, no fatty liver.
Not sure what to make of it, as it appears not much change in fibrosis in last 5 years, is that even possible???
Especially having geno 3, which apparently has the fastest rate of fibrosis development as compared to other genotypes , according to experts, so I was expecting a score well above the 8.7 range plus Fatty Liver, but it's not the case at all.
The USG, showed no fat on the liver, but I do have a bit of a spread across my abdomen, so must be all surface fat & not inside the liver…or the tests are wrong,
My doc told me: "mild fibrosis therefore no treatment for at least a year as not qualifying for it presently".
Geno 3, Fibro 8.7 pKA, tx experinced in 2005 - Peg/Riba, relapsed.
Started tx 1/12/2015 with Indian Sofo & Chinese Dac.
5 weeks result all normal, ALT 18 - down from ALT 73 at the start of tx.
5 weeks HCV PCR RNA - UND. - down from 2 ML
9 weeks HCV PCR RNA - UND.
