Patient's question:
Do I have hepatitis B for 15 years, is it okay to take interferon? What is the most effective way?Doctor's answer:
Interferon mainly has a certain effect against viruses, but it is very expensive, has many side effects, does not completely suppress viruses, and is prone to relapse. It is not recommended for you to receive interferon injections. Based on your situation, with 15 years of hepatitis B, it is suggested that you infer your condition based on the test results and treat it accordingly for better effectiveness.Have you had your liver function tests, such as transaminase and bilirubin, checked? Besides your recent symptoms, have you experienced fatigue, lethargy, or yellow urine? I need to understand these to better guide you.
