Patient's question:
A few days ago, during a health check-up, my hepatitis B surface antigen test came back weakly positive. Is this hepatitis B? What should I pay attention to? Can I still get the vaccine?Doctor's answer:
This proves that you are currently an hepatitis B patient. Hepatitis B is a chronic infectious disease that is primarily spread through blood, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual contact. If it is not taken seriously and treated, it may lead to liver cirrhosis and complications such as ascites, bruising, and liver cancer, ultimately endangering your life. Currently, there is no specific medication to eliminate the virus. Complete clearance of the virus entirely depends on your own immune system. Preventing the virus from replicating, maintaining normal liver function, and stopping the progression of the disease are the key goals.Guidance and Recommendations: It is recommended that you improve your testing and seek early treatment to slow down and control the progression of the disease, stabilize your condition, and achieve a healthy and long life.
