Patient's question:
Hello! I had hepatitis B in 2013. Can health checks now detect that I had hepatitis B.Doctor's answer:
This situation should be integrated with a clear clinical diagnosis. Generally, additional tests can provide this information, but it should be clarified whether the hepatitis B has been completely cured or has become chronic, among other conditions. If hepatitis B has been completely cured, the hepatitis B surface antibody and core antibody can be positive. If it has become chronic, in addition to the surface antibody, others can be positive. Specific tests should also include liver function and hepatitis B DNA. In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis B, friends with the disease should maintain a positive attitude to face the illness. Only in this way can the patient receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and focus on a balanced nutrition, ensuring the body can digest nutrients promptly. They believe that in this way, they can definitely drive hepatitis B away.
