Patient may present with non-specific complaints of fatigue, joint pain, and be noted to have hepatomegaly on examination. Other extra-hepatic manifestations may include impaired glycemic control, cardiovascular disease, hypogonadism, and arthropathy. Increased hepatic tissue iron stores within hepatocytes as detected by Prussian blue staining is diagnostic of iron overload, irrespective of genotic testing results. A hepatic iron index in excess of 1.9 µmol/g per year of life was found is excessive and confirms hepatic iron overload.
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
