Patient's question:
My abdomen feels bloated, and pressing on my liver often causes pain. Besides the gurgling sound in my abdomen, my DNA test result is 900 (normal is 500). Is it very serious?Doctor's answer:
When liver function is normal, it is generally never going to reappear with ascites, but it depends on how the albumin levels are? If the albumin is normal, then it is generally never going to reappear with ascites. So, if you mentioned having a gurgling sound in your abdomen, it is recommended to get an ultrasound to check. Also, consider whether there are any digestive diseases, such as enteritis? Currently, your HBV-DNA suppression is still good. If liver function is normal and the ultrasound is fine, then your hepatitis B is well-controlled, so there is no need to worry too much. In fact, getting ascites is not scary at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease as long as they discover the symptoms in time and receive symptomatic treatment.
