Patient's question:
I was previously an HBsAg positive patient with a small triangle positive status. I haven't had a check-up for over a year. Yesterday, I got tested for DNA and the five hepatitis B markers, and it turned into a small second positive status. But during this period, I haven't taken any medication. What could be the reason for this? Is it not genetic mutation?Doctor's answer:
According to your results, active treatment is not necessary; instead, regular check-ups should be conducted to monitor the condition and adjust the treatment based on changes. You should pay attention to monitoring the condition, checking viral DNA and liver function, as well as changes in ultrasound results, to confirm the treatment plan. This situation may involve genetic mutation, and if HBsDNA is abnormal along with liver function abnormalities, active treatment should be adopted. For the patient, if the hepatitis B condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided with appropriate medication, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of hepatitis B. Additionally, the patient needs to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
