Fibrosis improvement after SVR
(Preview)
There are so many people getting SVR these days I thought I'd start a thread on fibrosis improvement. It's a shame there is so little research on recovery post SVR compared to the number treatment studies in existence. I suspect more research will be done around this in the coming years. The 2 studie...

Hi all I've been getting quite a few liver pains recently. More so than before or on treatment.
