Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
A Gastroentrologist will examine her completely in office visit. He/she will run a battery of tests on your daughter including massive blood work. It includes
hepatitis B, C, D screening by ELISA, HIV screening,
Hepatitis A antibodies total quantitative, Liver function tests,
Alpha fetoprotein levels,
Hepatitis C RNA quantitative analysis etc ( just to list some of them).
An ultrasound of right upper quadrant of abdomen to look for the liver texture will also be done.
After testing He will decide what to put in treatment orders. It all depends on
viral load. For example if viral load is only 300IU she needs no treatment at all. Only 6 monthly ultrasound will be needed to follow-up.
Hope it helps. If you need further, detailed and quick assistance related to any health issues in future, feel free to 'ask me a question' directly from my profile.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards!
DR. MUHAMMAD M. HANIF
