Patient's question:
Is the condition worse when transitioning from a hepatitis B virus carrier to a chronic hepatitis B virus carrier? What are the differences between the two?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B carriers are all considered to have normal liver function, which is also the best time for treatment. Complete recovery will also be faster as long as the virus remains in the body, the liver is constantly attacked by the virus, and there is always a possibility of further deterioration. Numerous clinical reports have proven that many hepatitis B carriers directly develop into liver cancer. Therefore, it is crucial to pay attention and actively receive correct treatment to recover as soon as possible, avoiding prolonged illness that may lead to further deterioration. Over time, hepatitis B can progress along the path of "hepatitis B - cirrhosis - liver cancer," which is what we commonly refer to as the "third stage of hepatitis B."
