What should be done about chronic active hepatitis B?

Patient's question:

My friend is 17 years old, female. A few data declined during the school check-up. She is a bit worried, so she went to the city hospital for a check-up. Today, the check-up revealed chronic active hepatitis B. She is very anxious.

Doctor's answer:

I hope you won't be too anxious. For mild abnormalities in liver function, such as transaminase and bilirubin levels within twice the normal upper limit, we also do not provide treatment, as this condition is generally not considered to be caused by liver-related factors. If treatment is necessary, chronic hepatitis B can also achieve spontaneous remission beyond clinical diagnosis. However, we still hope you can promptly review the specific details of your liver function and HBV DNA, and then we can provide advice based on the specific situation. Your girlfriend should also prepare for irregular follow-up tests in the future, avoid alcohol, and not overexert herself. In addition to treating hepatitis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
