Patient's question:
My uncle has hepatitis B, so my older brother now also has severe autoimmune hepatitis, his whole body is yellow, foaming at the mouth, and he feels dizzy. How is autoimmune hepatitis treated?Doctor's answer:
Severe autoimmune liver disease is a condition caused by the transmission of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) to the body. The hepatitis B virus is a hepatotropic virus that primarily resides within liver cells and damages them, leading to liver cell inflammation, suppuration, and fibrosis. Hepatitis B virus infection can be either acute or chronic. Therefore, the dietary plan should be adjusted based on the condition of liver function. During the remission period of chronic hepatitis, liver function tests return to normal, and there are no significant digestive symptoms. At this time, it is recommended to maintain a balanced diet. In addition to treating autoimmune hepatitis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and to always keep a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
