Does hepatitis B threaten life?

Patient's question:

My mother is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus and is currently taking medication every day. My mother is also a doctor, but when I asked her, she said it's nothing. I don't believe it. I want to ask if this could be life-threatening?

Doctor's answer:

Simply from being a hepatitis B carrier, it is impossible to deduce how it harms the soul. She is a doctor and taking medication, so she must have a good understanding of herself. It is recommended to have regular liver ultrasound examinations, hepatitis B virus DNA tests, and liver function tests. These aspects can reveal the severity of the condition. During rest periods, it is also important to get enough rest, and maintain a light diet. The daily treatment for hepatitis B patients primarily involves medication. Patients can take various oral medications, combined with many vitamins, and pay attention to their diet, eating light, thin, and soft foods. We hope that hepatitis B patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
