Is anyone familiar with the blood test that rates the condition of the liver. I had both the biopsy and blood test. The blood test say I am F1-F2, the biopsy rates me F0. I have had 3 biopsies in the last 8 years all rating close to F0, the last one last year. I have had 2 of the blood test in the last 2 years and both rated me at F1-F2. My doctor believes that the biopsy is more believable. But there are some that think that the blood test is more believable. Opiniones?
Also, what are people doing to boost thier immune system?
the rating is F0 t0 F4. F0 being no damage.
Thanks

Re: Biopsy vs blood test
Sat, March 3, 2007 - 12:39 PMHi Art
I know there's a blood test for liver function (LFT) I didn't know there was a test to show liver damage. The LFT just measures enzymes in the blood given out when the liver is damaged. Was it the biochemical fibrosure test that you had?
I thought that biopsy and scans were the only way of telling damage? I think biopsy is the best way. Good that you haven't much damage.
As for boosting the immune system. I just eat a healthy diet but I know there are various supplements you can take. I finished six months of treatment over a year ago and I'm still negative but the treatment knocked my immune system out for a good six months after.
I hope someone else can help you with the supplements.
All the best
Tracey
