Do hepatitis patients easily get cirrhosis?

Patient's question:

A history of hepatitis for over ten years, the two pairs of tests showed positive for HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBcAb (). After being treated in a hospital for infectious diseases for half a month, I took the medicine home for self-treatment. The tests still showed positive for HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBcAb (), but the infectivity had decreased, and liver function was still abnormal. Will this condition lead to cirrhosis?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, viral hepatitis, especially chronic hepatitis B, is a major factor leading to portal vein cirrhosis. Under close and meticulous observation, active treatment is necessary. Additionally, during the treatment period for hepatitis patients, the patient's dietary condition and nursing care are also very important. Patients must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries. It is hoped that the above information can assist you. Thank you.
