Patient's question:
Health check revealed negative HBsAg and positive anti-HBc. Please explain the reason.Doctor's answer:
If only the hepatitis B core antibody is positive, with the prompt message: previous infection not detected for anti-HBs or HBsAg has disappeared in the recovery phase, anti-HBs has not reappeared again, or HBsAg carrier, it is recommended to check the hepatitis B virus DNA. If it is negative, there is no problem, and you can perform irregular follow-up tests for the five hepatitis B items quantitatively.In addition, during the treatment of hepatitis B, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a light diet while always keeping a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from hepatitis B.
