Patient's question:
I am 32 years old. Fifteen years ago, I was diagnosed with. After that, I didn't take any medication until I was 24 years old. A follow-up test () showed (1, 5 positive). During this period, multiple liver function tests were mostly normal. Below are the results from today's test:: (145 positive),
Hepatitis B Virus DNA: 5.43E+2,
Liver function mostly normal (bilirubin slightly elevated by 0.9, globulin slightly elevated by 0.5),
Ultrasound: Slightly coarse and dense liver area echoes.
Doctor's answer:
The hepatitis B virus, although many people are diagnosed with conditions like or, a considerable number of people are positive simply due to being virus carriers. There has been no recurrence of changes in liver function or organic liver changes, but it is necessary to regularly check liver function and liver ultrasound. If the liver shows no organic changes and liver function is normal, treatment may not be necessary. Currently, you have ultrasound changes, but liver function is still normal. I consider this to be the initial stage of virus infection, which has caused organic changes, but the liver function still has a compensatory period, so it is basically normal.
