And what about genotype and quantitative PCR ?
And can u also tell me what are the success rate of current treatment coz interferon was all depression that’s why never went for treatment for 12-13 yearsand how strong are effects of this medicine coz interferon has strong effects .
Plus what do u think how much damage could have been done till now in 15 years of active disease ?
Thank u for response
