What is the condition known as "" in relation to hepatitis B?

Patient's question:

I got my health check-up last month, and the results came out. The doctor said I have hepatitis B, then I had another liver function test, and it said my liver function is fine. Now, in the hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody test results, the first, third, and fifth items are all positive, which means I have the "big three positive" for hepatitis B. I'm feeling sad.

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B "big three positive" refers to the autoimmune indicators of the hepatitis B virus in chronic hepatitis B patients or hepatitis B virus carriers, specifically the positivity of three items: hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), and hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBC). The characteristic of chronic hepatitis is the recurring softening and relief of liver inflammation. Therefore, the dietary plan needs to be adjusted based on the condition of liver function. During the relief phase of hepatitis, liver function tests return to normal, and there are no significant digestive symptoms. At this time, a balanced diet should be emphasized.
