Patient's question:
With a history of hepatitis B, I went for a health check today and my alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level was 21. Is that normal? I have the report, but the doctor has gone off duty.Doctor's answer:
According to your description and the test results, your liver function and color Doppler ultrasound are normal, but your alpha-fetoprotein is elevated. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, avoid overtime work, maintain a light diet, eat less greasy food, avoid alcohol, increase physical activity, boost your immune system, and have a follow-up examination. In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis B, friends with the disease should always maintain a positive attitude to face the illness. Only in this way can we reduce the patient's immunity and the belief to fight the disease. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to dietary care, monitor a balanced nutrition, and ensure that the body's nutrients are digested in a timely manner. It is believed that this will definitely drive away hepatitis B.
