Patient's question:
I have a positive surface antibody and a positive core antibody for hepatitis B. My direct bilirubin is 5.8, and my hepatitis B DNA is 1.0002. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
The five-item hepatitis B test showing positive for items 2 and 5 indicates that the individual has previously been infected with the hepatitis B virus. Due to a strong immune system, the person has unknowingly fully recovered and has developed antibodies. The current viral load is negative, so no treatment is necessary. Regular follow-up tests can be conducted as needed.It is recommended to avoid alcohol consumption, overtime work, and excessive strain. Rest more, eat fewer greasy and irritating foods, and engage in appropriate physical exercise.
There are many treatment methods for hepatitis B, but since symptoms vary among patients, the treatment approaches differ accordingly. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
