Will chronic hepatitis B with high viral load lead to liver disease?

Patient's question:

In 2006, the school health check discovered hepatitis B with a high viral load. In 2009, the hospital test confirmed viral hepatitis B, with normal liver function.

Doctor's answer:

Currently, the treatment for chronic hepatitis B primarily involves antiviral therapy. Commonly used antiviral drugs include interferon, nucleoside drugs, and autoimmune regulators. Interferon is currently the mainstay of antiviral treatment due to its relatively significant antiviral efficacy, as well as its ability to prevent liver fibrosis and reduce the incidence of liver cancer. Additionally, the treatment approach for chronic hepatitis B varies depending on the stage of the disease. The daily treatment for hepatitis B patients mainly focuses on symptomatic relief. Patients can take various oral medications, supplement with many vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods. We hope that hepatitis B patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
