Can a small three positive patient use interferon?

Patient's question:

I can feel obvious pain in the liver area. The test results show DNA 2.534 divided by 10 to the fourth power, ALT 62, direct bilirubin 9.46, indirect bilirubin 17.6, total bilirubin 27.9, total protein 84, and ADA 17. The ultrasound suggests a smooth surface with slightly blunt edges. The liver echoes are coarse, and the portal vein is increased by 1.2. Now, after stopping medication for a week, the symptoms have significantly improved.

Doctor's answer:

Interferon can be used, but it must be administered in high doses for a long period of time. A small portion of patients may turn negative, but chemically synthesized interferon has relatively large side effects and is not suitable for long-term use. Your condition is that you are a hepatitis B carrier, and it is essential to receive proper treatment to recover as soon as possible, to avoid prolonged illness leading to further deterioration. With prolonged hepatitis B infection, it can progress along the path of "hepatitis B - liver cirrhosis - liver cancer," which is what we commonly refer to as the "third stage of hepatitis B." Hepatitis B is difficult to self-cure because the vast majority of hepatitis B patients have immune tolerance and do not produce an automatic immune response to the hepatitis B virus (HBV), which results in the condition becoming chronic. Generally, drugs are difficult to.
