Clinical, biochemical and imaging-verified regression of hepatitis B-induced

cirrhosis

S. Massarrat1, V. Fallahazad2 and N. Kamalian2

Abstract:

In a 65-year-old patient with ascites, jaundice and positive hepatitis B

surface antigen (HBsAg), the histological diagnosis of cirrhosis with

knodell total score 13 was made in 1995. The patient was followed up for 8

years. Spontaneous seroconversion of HBsAg appeared. Except for slight

hyperbilirubinemia, all pathologic, clinical laboratory data remained normal

from the second year of diagnosis till 8 years of follow-up. In the last

follow up, the markers of liver fibrosis were all normal. The portal vein

diameter was decreased and the esophageal varices disappeared. The imaging

of liver by sonography and CT-scan did not reveal any abnormality.
