Patient's question:
The previous ALT levels were 92, 88, and the recent recheck showed 22. No medication was taken. How did it suddenly become normal? I want to ask how common it is for liver function to fluctuate like this in someone with chronic hepatitis B.Doctor's answer:
The highly infectious nature of chronic hepatitis B () is accompanied by a high viral load. Elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels indicate that the hepatitis is in a remission phase, as the human body's own immune system also provides some resistance to the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is also necessary to check the qualitative and quantitative levels of HBV-DNA. Although liver function has returned to normal, antiviral treatment should still be implemented. It is recommended to take lamivudine or (hepatitis B immune globulin). In addition to timely treatment, patients with chronic hepatitis B should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep, as sufficient deep sleep can help you recover from the disease more quickly. I hope the above answer can assist you.
