Patient's question:
Lab report for hepatitis B tests and liver function at 38 weeks of pregnancy. Is it highly contagious? Will it affect my husband and baby? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify this for you. According to your test results, you have a minor positive for hepatitis B, but your liver function is normal. Don't worry. I recommend that your husband gets tested for the hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody. If he doesn't have the hepatitis B antibody, he should get vaccinated for hepatitis B according to the standard procedure to boost the production of hepatitis B antibodies in his body. After the baby is born, it's important to promptly administer both hepatitis B immune globulin and the hepatitis B vaccine.In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis B, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should be careful to choose a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
