Patient's question:
I went to donate blood for free today, and the doctor said I might have hepatitis B. The situation is just as written in the title.Doctor's answer:
Surface antigen positive indicates that you are infected with the hepatitis B virus. To determine the health of your liver, additional liver function tests are needed. It is recommended that you get tested for liver function and the five hepatitis B markers. If you are only positive for hepatitis B surface antigen, it only proves that you are a carrier, not an active hepatitis B patient. If your liver function and the five markers are also abnormal, then treatment is necessary. Patients facing hepatitis interference should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If hepatitis is not cured after prolonged treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
