Patient's question:
I have hepatitis B, and I want to have a septoplasty. However, my blood test results for liver function are abnormal. My ALT is 131 and AST is 53, both of which have dropped after medication. Before taking the medication, they were as high as 14957. The medications I have taken include Cefotaxime, Mevion, and Reduced Glutathione. Can I still have the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend! You are a patient with chronic hepatitis B. Currently, your liver function is abnormal, and it is recommended to test for hepatitis B virus DNA. If the hepatitis B virus DNA level is greater than 10 to the power of 4 per liter, it is advised to take antiviral medication while actively using liver-protecting and enzyme-lowering drugs. It is recommended to take medication under the guidance of a doctor. Faced with the interference of hepatitis B, we should actively carry out examinations and treatment, and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If hepatitis B is not cured after long-term treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
