I spoke with my hepatologist the other day. The biopsy was not inconclusive this time. It revealed that I have moderate swelling in my liver and that I have between stages three and four scarring. None of this was really a surprise. I knew that I had permanent damage from the severity of my first flare up. I had been healthy for so long....I had just sort of forgotten about it. I had more bloodwork done yesterday. My hepatologist told me that I will probably need to be on prednisone. I am optimistic because the inflammation was caught early on and my doctor is moving quickly.
