Is it normal after treating hepatitis B for a year?

Patient's question:

Implement enzyme reduction and antiviral treatment. One month later, liver function returned to normal, and DNA turned negative. The hepatitis B 5-item test results changed to. After discharge, I have been taking Entecavir. I have now been taking it for a year, with 2 check-ups so far, and both liver function and DNA are normal. What should I do now?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! HBsAg negative cases are generally not infectious, and liver function tests are normal. It's also important to check the amount of DNA virus you have, whether it's HBsAg negative or HBsAg positive. If it's less than 3 orders of magnitude, it will definitely not be infectious. For younger patients, doctors usually recommend interferon treatment. In the first month, medication should be administered continuously, and then every other day for a year. During the treatment, blood tests should be conducted to ensure white blood cells do not fall below 3. Except for alpha-fetoprotein, the side effects are minimal. Medication should be taken for at least three to five years. In daily life, avoid spicy foods, Japanese mackerel, beef, dog meat, lamb, rooster, and quit smoking and drinking. Do not work overtime or stay up late.
