Patient's question:
His mother suddenly came to our house and told us that his older brother's wife had hepatitis B surface antigen positive (HBsAg positive), and the whole family was very worried. His mother didn't understand this kind of thing, so she asked us, "What is HBsAg positive?" and "Can hepatitis B surface antigen positive be cured?"Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive, which is one of the five indicators in the hepatitis B panel, is referred to as "minor positive hepatitis B." This condition is contagious, and family members should receive the hepatitis B vaccine for prevention. Patients with normal liver function do not necessarily require treatment, but should have regular liver function tests, follow a diet low in fat, sugar, and salt but high in protein, and abstain from smoking and alcohol. Hepatitis has a significant impact on patients, so it is important to seek medical attention promptly upon noticing symptoms. Additionally, dietary management should be given high priority, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that liver patients can receive professional treatment.
