Patient's question:
I have hepatitis B (antibody to HBeAg positive). During my liver ultrasound, the doctor mentioned there was a liver vessel remnant, measuring 3.5 centimeters in size. Aside from that, there were no other abnormalities. So, does this mean I don't have chronic hepatitis? Am I just a carrier of the virus? How is a carrier's condition generally considered less severe than that of chronic liver disease?Doctor's answer:
Hemangioma of the liver is not hepatitis, so please don't worry. If your liver function tests are normal, you only have a viral carrier status and do not have hepatitis. What you said is very correct, a viral carrier has a milder condition compared to chronic liver disease. Pay attention to a light diet, eat less greasy food, and avoid using medications that harm liver function as much as possible. Avoid alcohol, maintain a regular lifestyle, and get regular liver function tests. In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis, patient friends should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment, and they should also pay more attention to their dietary care, primarily based on light foods, and avoid stimulating and cold foods, believing that this will definitely drive away hepatitis.
