Patient's question:
Mom has had hepatitis B for 30 years with a positive. Recently, she was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. Now the virus is still replicating. I am a and got infected from my mom. My younger brother got vaccinated, so he doesn't have it. Dad never got vaccinated, but he doesn't have it either. A few days ago, Mom used the toilet in the house, and the urine smell was very strong. Besides the steam, I smelled something like steam, and I think I inhaled some of it. I want to ask, my liver function and DNA tests are normal. My DNA test is negative, and there is no virus replication. But Mom has liver cirrhosis, and the virus is replicating. In this situation, if I smelled the urine right after she finished using the toilet, could I get liver cirrhosis or could my virus start replicating?Doctor's answer:
In addition to treating liver cirrhosis with targeted therapy, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating light meals and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. All medications are metabolized and detoxified by the liver. Using a single medication only alleviates pressure on the liver, requiring at least 1-2 years to see results, and it can easily lead to viral mutation, causing the condition to recur. Modern physical instruments provide more effective treatment than single medication. Liver patients can understand targeted therapy while using folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is crucial to avoid extreme hunger or overeating and never binge on food.
