Patient's question:
I have had for 24 years. My liver function has always been normal. In the past half year, I've been experiencing back pain. Accompanied by discomfort in the liver area. An ultrasound shows mild diffuse inflammation, and I'm not sure if it's getting worse. I have a family history.Doctor's answer:
A person with has viral hepatitis and is contagious. It is mainly spread through sexual contact, blood, and mother-to-child transmission. However, when the virus is at a high copy stage in the patient's body, it can also be spread through saliva. Normal liver function indicates that the liver has not been damaged for the time being, but the number of viruses, the copy level in the body, and the strength of transmissibility need to be determined based on the HBV DNA test results. The condition you described is one of the typical symptoms of hepatitis B, and the ultrasound results suggest the possibility of liver fibrosis. Once you notice any symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid foods, and hope that liver patients can receive professional treatment.
