Why is someone with hepatitis B so thin?

Patient's question:

Hello, I am a carrier of the virus, infected by my mother at birth. My liver function is normal, but why have I been thin since childhood? At 21, I weigh less than 110 pounds. I really don't know what to do. Building muscle is my dream, but I don't eat less than others. Could it be a problem with my liver's metabolism?

Doctor's answer:

You are currently primarily a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. This carrier state does not necessarily mean it is contagious, and you are basically in a non-remission phase. Your current body condition is relatively thin, which is related to your dietary habits and daily activities. Your body's thinness can be improved by enhancing nutritional metabolism and combining it with herbal medicine that regulates the spleen and stomach, which can achieve very good results. It is not much related to your poor liver function.
Doctor's inquiry: Hello, how are you? Is there anything else you don’t understand? In addition to medication and treatment for liver disease, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to seeking diagnosis from a professional hospital to obtain good treatment effects.
