Patient's question:
I have had hepatitis B for nearly 20 years. Recently, I've been experiencing liver area pain. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, my ALT was 91, AST was 58, and DNA was 2.39E+03. The ultrasound results were normal. The Western medicine prescribed me Stavudine tablets and Compound Diclac tablets. Should I receive antiviral treatment in my condition? Today, I also consulted a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, who said these indicators are not high and that there is no need to take these medications. What should I do? Please provide a detailed response from an expert!!Doctor's answer:
Different treatment measures should be adopted based on clinical diagnosis types and different subtypes of etiology. The general principle is: to base the treatment on adequate rest and proper nutrition, and to selectively use medications. Alcohol should be avoided, and overexertion as well as the use of liver-damaging drugs should be prevented. Medications should be used judiciously, keeping it simple rather than complicated.Patients with liver disease can, while understanding standard treatment, use dietary therapy as a complement in daily life. It is crucial to avoid extreme hunger or overeating in daily diet and never indulge in binge eating.
