This case involves a 62-year-old man with chronic Hepatitis B infection (HBsAg+), elevated ALT and AST levels, and a liver biopsy showing F2 fibrosis scarring. He has initiated Lamivudine (LAM) treatment, with HBV DNA measured at 1.63 x 10^5 IU/mL, and is referred for follow-up in 2012. Key laboratory results include bilirubin at 15, platelet count at 101, and INR at 1.2. The ultrasound shows coarse liver and splenomegaly. Considering these factors, the treatment options, further diagnostic testing, and management strategies should be discussed.
