Patient's question:
22 years old, female, currently mainly feeling weak, not feeling well physically, and have had the illness for over two years. Alanine aminotransferase is 78.00. Aspartate aminotransferase is 52.00. Aspartate and alanine is 0.67. This is the result of my recent check-up.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your condition is chronic hepatitis B with a positive result for the "big three positive" (HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBc). The main reason for the long-term persistence of your illness is the lack of proper treatment. Abnormal liver function tests indicate a possibility of further deterioration of the condition. Therefore, it is crucial to receive early and correct treatment to achieve a speedy recovery, avoiding prolonged illness that could lead to further worsening or the risk of infecting others.Chronic hepatitis B often progresses along the path of "hepatitis B → cirrhosis → liver cancer," which is commonly referred to as the "third stage of hepatitis B." The difficulty in self-recovery from hepatitis B is due to the fact that the vast majority of hepatitis B patients have immune tolerance, meaning they do not produce an automatic immune response to the hepatitis B virus (HBV). As a result, the illness becomes persistent, and general medications are often ineffective in curing it.
