Patient's question:
I was diagnosed as an HBV carrier in August of this year. However, my liver function tests are normal. My surface antigen is around 2.5.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the infectivity of hepatitis B carriers is relatively low, and the number of viral copies in their bodies is also relatively small. Treatment is not necessary. The possibility of the hepatitis B surface antigen turning negative is relatively small, and there is currently no medication that can completely eliminate it. Your liver function is normal. It's recommended to check the hepatitis B viral DNA quantification, which is unlikely to be very high. If the result shows it's not high, no treatment is needed, and the interference is not significant. Wishing you good health! For severe liver disease patients, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the answer above can assist you. Thank you.
