Patient's question:
The liver function Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) is still around 149 and will not rise or fall, and the Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is also the same, always staying at about 45. Can the liver protection and enzyme reduction be stopped like this? Is it okay to only take antiviral medication?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of chronic hepatitis B primarily includes antiviral therapy, immune regulation, anti-inflammatory and liver protection, anti-fibrosis, and symptomatic treatment, among which antiviral therapy is key. As long as there is evidence of recovery and conditions permit, standardized antiviral treatment should be implemented. For patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), daily treatment mainly involves medication. Patients can take a variety of oral medications, complemented with many vitamins, while paying attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoiding cold foods. It is hoped that CHB patients can recover as soon as possible!
