Patient's question:
Hepatitis B with, normal liver function, test result of HBV DNA > 5×10^7, body temperature fluctuates between 36.4 to 37.4 degrees Celsius every day. What should I do? Is high body temperature harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your condition is chronic hepatitis B with a high viral load, as a hepatitis B virus carrier. The main reason for the long-term persistence of the illness is the lack of proper treatment. The reappearance of current symptoms indicates that the condition may continue to worsen, so it is essential to receive early and correct treatment to alleviate the suffering and achieve a speedy recovery. Over time, chronic hepatitis B can progress along the path of "hepatitis B → liver cirrhosis → liver cancer," which is commonly referred to as the "third stage of hepatitis B." Hepatitis B is difficult to self-cure because the vast majority of patients have immune tolerance and do not produce an automatic immune response to the hepatitis B virus (HBV). As a result, the condition becomes persistent, and general medications are often ineffective in curing it.
