Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 5 months pregnant and my HBV-DNA (hepatitis B virus DNA) test result is 1.12E+07. What should I do? Will it be a problem? Do I need treatment now?Doctor's answer:
Hello, HBVDNA is an indicator of hepatitis B virus replication. Your index is much higher than the normal value, which can be diagnosed as pregnancy complicated with hepatitis B.Suggestions: It is recommended to continue checking liver function. If liver function is abnormal, liver-protecting treatment is needed. At the same time, to prevent mother-to-child transmission, it is suggested to use hepatitis B immune globulin once at the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy. This can effectively prevent mother-to-child transmission.
