Patient's question:
I have hepatitis B, small positive. My liver function tests are normal. The result of the real-time fluorescent test for hepatitis B virus DNA (HBV-DNA) is: 1.42E+03Doctor's answer:
HBV-DNA is the deoxyribonucleic acid of the hepatitis B virus (i.e., the hepatitis B virus gene). HBV-DNA is the most direct, specific, and sensitive indicator of HBV infection. A positive HBV-DNA result indicates HBV copies and transmissibility. The higher the HBV-DNA level, the more severe the viral copy and the stronger the transmissibility. The normal value of HBV-DNA is below 1000. It is recommended to visit a professional liver disease hospital for follow-up, have liver function tests, and check if the liver function is impaired, followed by medication under the guidance of a doctor.
