Patient's question:
For many years, I have had hepatitis B, and my liver function is normal. Recently, B shows slightly increased echo thickness in the liver parenchyma. The hepatitis B virus level is 2.810^9. Should this condition be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B carrier. High viral load, highly contagious, but liver function is normal, indicating stable condition and no liver damage. You are still a hepatitis B carrier. No treatment is needed. B shows slightly thickened liver parenchyma, which is a sign of past inflammation. No need to worry. Rest more in the future, adhere to alcohol prohibition, and have periodic follow-up tests. You are currently highly contagious, so it is recommended that your family members also get tested for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibodies to see if they have antibodies. If all five tests are negative, get the hepatitis B vaccine promptly. In fact, having liver disease is not, and patients should believe they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is timely in the early stages, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
