Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with hepatitis B (minor positive) during a health check-up. My body has always been in poor condition, and I've lost a lot of weight. Recently, I haven't had much appetite for dinner. It was only when I went to the hospital for testing that I found out I had hepatitis. I'm very upset, and I feel completely drained right now.Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis is a group of infectious diseases characterized by prolonged liver inflammation and purulent inflammation caused by several different hepatotropic viruses (hepatitis viruses). It is classified as a Category B notifiable infectious disease, with features such as high transmissibility, complex transmission routes, widespread prevalence, and high incidence. Some patients with hepatitis B, C, and D can develop into chronic conditions, which may progress to liver cirrhosis and primary hepatocellular carcinoma, posing significant threats to public health. The treatment of hepatitis patients must be carried out under clear diagnosis and professional medical guidance, without blind medication use.
