Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 25 years old. She has had chronic hepatitis B with a positive for six years. Currently, she is undergoing antiviral treatment. Are there any dietary considerations?Doctor's answer:
Principles of dietary attention for patients with hepatitis B ().1. Rich and comprehensive vitamin diet: It is advisable to consume plenty of fresh vegetables, such as green vegetables, celery, spinach, cucumbers, and tomatoes; and fruits, such as apples, pears, bananas, grapes, and oranges. This helps digest sufficient vitamins and fiber, which also promotes better absorption.
2. Sufficient protein diet: It is advisable to consume more plant and animal protein, such as dairy products, soy products, eggs, fish, lean meat, and seafood. This aids in the regeneration and repair of liver cells. The amount should be controlled—patients with hepatitis B () should aim for 1–1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day.
