Patient's question:
Patient is male, has chronic hepatitis B for 8 years, and both ultrasound and liver function tests have been normal. Recently, it was found that his transaminase levels are elevated.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your condition is chronic hepatitis B with high viral load, as a hepatitis B carrier, primarily due to not receiving proper treatment, which has led to prolonged non-recovery. It is essential to receive correct treatment to achieve rapid recovery and avoid further deterioration caused by prolonged non-recovery. With prolonged hepatitis B infection, it tends to progress along the path of "hepatitis B → 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, failing to produce an automatic immune response to the hepatitis B virus (HBV). As a result, hepatitis B becomes incurable, and general medications struggle to provide a complete cure. Therefore, it is crucial to adopt the correct treatment method.
