Patient's question:
6 years ago, I donated blood for free and was diagnosed with hepatitis B. I didn't pay much attention to it. In May of this year, I experienced nausea, fatigue, and a dislike for oily foods, along with yellowing of the skin. The hospital examination revealed hepatitis B with a high level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) over 900 and jaundice at 600.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for hepatitis B currently lacks effective drugs and methods, making it difficult for the condition to heal completely on its own. Treatment primarily involves symptomatic management and antiviral therapy. These approaches can alleviate symptoms and prevent further liver fibrosis. Regular liver function tests and a balanced diet without alcohol are essential. Additionally, during the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (), apart from symptomatic management, the patient's dietary habits and mental state are also crucial. It is vital for patients to maintain a positive mood and follow a proper diet to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from chronic hepatitis B.
