How to check for hepatitis B during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, the test results showed positive for hepatitis B e antibody and hepatitis B core antibody, while all other tests were negative.

Doctor's answer:

Positive for hepatitis B e antibody and core antibody, indicating a previous infection with the hepatitis B virus or recovery from acute hepatitis B. It is recommended that you undergo further testing for hepatitis B DNA and liver function. If the hepatitis B DNA test is negative and liver function is normal, there should be no issues. Follow-up testing can be conducted after some time. The daily treatment for hepatitis B primarily involves medication. Patients can use various oral medications, complemented with vitamins, while maintaining regular routines and avoiding smoking and alcohol. We hope that hepatitis B patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
