Patient's question:
The check result is 6.215E+05, but after taking Adefovir for three months, it increased to 2.503E+06. Why didn't it decrease instead of increasing? The DNA should have turned negative by now, right? The liver function test also showed no significant improvement. It's always slightly off from normal liver function. What's going on? Is Adefovir not working?Doctor's answer:
The medicine can only suppress the virus count but cannot completely eliminate the virus in the body. Long-term use has certain side effects and lacks treatment significance. Your condition is due to not receiving proper treatment, which has led to the prolonged non-healing. Therefore, you must receive timely and correct treatment to recover as soon as possible, to avoid further deterioration due to prolonged non-healing.Long-term hepatitis B infection tends to progress along the path of "hepatitis B → cirrhosis → liver cancer," which is what we commonly refer to as the "third stage of hepatitis B." Hepatitis B is difficult to self-heal because the vast majority of hepatitis B patients have immune tolerance, meaning they do not produce an automatic immune response to the hepatitis B virus (HBV). As a result, hepatitis B becomes non-healing, and general medications are difficult to.
