Hello doctor! My mother has liver disease, a while ago when she went to the doctor, she said that it was not time for treatment. Yesterday, my mother went to the doctor again and the result was chronic hepatitis. So the doctor asked me if chronic hepatitis is dangerous? I hope the doctor can help me. I would like to thank you.
