Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
You need to undergo few tests before planning the treatment. HBeAg, HBV DNA levels and liver function test are to be done before starting the treatment.
Complete cure is not possible. You can keep it under control.
You also need to get an ultrasound scan of the abdomen and serum alpha feto protein test done every 6 months.
