Patient's question:
Can hepatitis B virus carriers with normal liver function take Compound Reishi Granules to protect their liver?Doctor's answer:
Everyone with hepatitis B is mistakenly called a virus carrier by people who do not understand the hepatitis B virus. In fact, when a hepatitis B five-item test (HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBe, anti-HBc, and HBsAb) reveals a "big three positive" or "small three positive," or a "big two positive" or "small two positive," and if only the first item (surface antigen) is positive while the other four are negative, and the virus is weak, then it is considered a virus carrier. In real clinical diagnosis, many patients do not take it seriously, seek treatment, or care for it, leading to the progression to advanced liver cirrhosis or liver cancer, where it becomes untreatable. Therefore, a hepatitis B five-item test is necessary for virus carriers to accurately assess the severity of their condition.
