Can hepatitis B carriers pass the virus to their children?

Patient's question:

Problem Description: My friend is an HBV carrier and usually feels fine with no symptoms. Liver function tests are also normal. What consequences will giving birth have on the next generation?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation generally does not have any impact on the child, but it is best to inject hepatitis B immune globulin between the 7th and 9th months of pregnancy to block it. At the same time, the child also needs to be vaccinated against hepatitis B within 24 hours of birth, and there will be no problems for the child. There are many factors that can cause pediatric liver disease. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric liver disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to actively treat it, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a reasonable diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
