Patient's question:
Carried by the hepatitis B virus, it has expanded into hepatitis B minor positive. Now I'm pregnant again, what tests should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Points to note for hepatitis B patients who are pregnant:1. How has your liver function changed? It should all be within the normal range.
2. You need to closely monitor your liver function and HBV-DNA testing. As the fetus consumes more nutrients in the mother's body, the burden on your liver increases, making it even more important to be cautious.
3. To prevent mother-to-child transmission, you should start receiving monthly injections of hepatitis B immune globulin (200–400 IU each) three months before delivery. After the baby is born, administer one dose of immune globulin within 48 hours, followed by another two weeks later. Additionally, use the hepatitis B vaccine in combination for effective protection for the infant.
