Patient's question:
I discovered hepatitis B in May 2013. At that time, my ALT was 90, AST was 84, and DNA was 10^7. After taking Entecavir tablets for 5 years, everything is normal now, except that the first item in the hepatitis B panel is positive (surface antigen), while the other four are negative. This has been the case for a year, and I am still taking Entecavir. I want all of them to turn negative. Is there any treatment that can make all of them turn negative?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is speculated that if you only have a positive hepatitis B surface antigen, you are a hepatitis B carrier and do not need to take medication anymore. It is recommended to maintain a regular lifestyle without overworking, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid overly greasy foods, and especially avoid drinking beer. Regular follow-up tests are also necessary. In addition to timely treatment, hepatitis B patients need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep throughout their lives. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover from this disease as soon as possible. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you!
