Patient's question:
After feeling some fatigue and a decrease in appetite, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The liver function tests were normal, but the doctor said I had converted to. I have a hepatitis B DNA test result, and I'm not quite sure what the numbers in it mean. The result is 1.23×10^7, and the reference value is <1.00×10^3.Doctor's answer:
Your situation requires timely antiviral treatment. The results of the report are as follows: The normal value should be below 1000 (10^3), while your result is 12,300,000 (10^7 plus), so it is very necessary to implement antiviral treatment immediately, otherwise it is easy to lead to severe hepatitis. It is recommended to take LAM (lamivudine) or Adefovir dipivoxil for antiviral treatment as soon as possible. It is best to take these medications under the guidance of a doctor at the local hospital, as the medications may vary from hospital to hospital. Additionally, periodic liver function and viral load tests should be conducted. The daily treatment for hepatitis patients mainly involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can use many oral medications, coordinate with various vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, as well as maintain a proper diet.
