Patient's question:
My cousin's son used to be quite fat, but now he has become very thin. Yesterday, he went to the hospital for a check-up. After blood tests, the doctor said he has a slight case of hepatitis B. Additionally, he has anemia and high white blood cell count. I would like to ask if these three conditions are a chain reaction or if they are independent disorders. If they are a chain reaction, which one should be the primary focus of treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B does not cause leukocytosis; it is caused by anemia. It is recommended to visit the hematology department for examination. Bone marrow examination can provide a clear diagnosis if necessary. After anti-inflammatory treatment, inflammation can return to normal. Other diseases can only be treated accordingly. Hepatitis B does not cause high leukocyte counts. No, hepatitis B leads to liver cell damage in the body, while albumin is primarily synthesized by the liver. Hepatitis B patients generally have a decrease in albumin levels. It is recommended to promptly improve other test results at a regular hospital.
