Patient's question:
Just found out it's, what methods can be used to treat, can this condition be left untreated?Doctor's answer:
The infectiousness of minor hepatitis B (HBeAg negative) is not as strong as that of major hepatitis B (HBeAg positive), but it still causes very serious damage to the liver itself and is more prone to lead to hepatic fibrosis, which can progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Although the viral load of minor hepatitis B patients is less active than that of major hepatitis B patients, minor hepatitis B patients are more likely to develop cirrhosis compared to the general population. If the viral count is low, the liver enzymes are normal, and the patient is a long-term stable non-active carrier, no treatment is needed, and liver function tests can be performed intermittently. If the actual viral load is high, the liver enzymes fluctuate repeatedly or frequently drop suddenly, and if not treated promptly, the consequences will be more severe, with a higher likelihood of developing cirrhosis or liver cancer.
