Features: China is a high-endemic area for hepatitis B, and we face extensive prevention and control work, including some issues that have never existed in other countries. Many problems require further exploration. The development of medical science increasingly demands a deeper and broader understanding of a disease. Compiling basic knowledge and clinical experience can facilitate professionals' reading, promote interdisciplinary integration, help clinicians refer to fundamental knowledge, and enable more active diagnostic thinking and more rational treatment measures. Hepatitis B has been prevalent in China for over forty years, and most current clinical cases involve chronic liver diseases related to hepatitis B. Moreover, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma still often exhibit viral replication and active inflammation, requiring specialists to possess broader professional knowledge. The disease spectrum of hepatitis B virus infection includes acute hepatitis, chronic asymptomatic carriers, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. This book provides a detailed discussion of both the basic and clinical aspects of the entire infection process, as well as various related issues. It is a book written by a clinician, combining their clinical experience and learning insights. The content is selected and organized based on the author's understanding, which may differ from traditional concepts. For some routine diagnostic and treatment matters, the book offers in-depth discussions combined with basic knowledge, along with some content that may not have been previously described. The main purpose of this book is to share clinical experiences and insights into related basic knowledge with peers, aiming to make our diagnostic thinking more dynamic and treatment measures more reasonable. It is hoped that this book will contribute to improving the clinical research level of hepatitis B.
