Patient's question:
Physical examination revealed hepatitis B with small, abnormal liver function, and a DNA level of 10^3. The doctor diagnosed it as chronic hepatitis B. The liver and gallbladder ultrasound showed normal morphology, with calcifications in the bile ducts. Total bilirubin was 35.9, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was 89. I was hospitalized for 30 days. The ALT level rose in the middle but then dropped to 91, and it didn't improve. The doctor recommended that I take antiviral medication. I have already bought the medication but haven't taken it yet. I don't know if it will be effective for my condition or if it will have side effects.Doctor's answer:
A small three positive only indicates that you have hepatitis B virus in your body, but the severity of the condition needs to be determined based on your liver function and DNA levels. Currently, there are no internationally recognized drugs that can effectively turn negative through automatic immunity. As long as your liver function is normal and your DNA is negative, you can temporarily avoid treatment and undergo periodic follow-up tests. For patients with severe liver disease, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication, as this may worsen the condition. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
