Patient's question:
Doctor, my husband is an HBV carrier. Will it be inherited to the baby? My liver function tests for these two are normal. I am currently 7 and a half months pregnant.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your husband is an HBV carrier. The probability of him passing it on to the baby is still very low. At the same time, your liver function is normal, and it is recommended that you undergo further testing for the five hepatitis B items. If everything is normal, there is no need for treatment for the time being. If the wife is tested for the five hepatitis B items and is found to have hepatitis B, it is recommended to administer high-efficiency hepatitis B immune globulin at 6-8-9 months. At the same time, the baby should undergo terminal treatment after birth. Patients face the problem of hepatitis B, we should actively carry out testing and treatment, and should not avoid medical treatment. If hepatitis B is not cured after long-term treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch treatment plans.
