Patient's question:
Got tested at the hospital for hepatitis B surface antigen (instrument method), positive, 157.88. Does this mean I have hepatitis?Doctor's answer:
Just the surface antigen is positive, which does not necessarily mean hepatitis. If liver function is normal, it may only indicate being a hepatitis B carrier. It is recommended to check the hepatitis B panel and liver function, and have an abdominal ultrasound. Based on the results, consult a hepatology specialist.In addition, during the treatment of hepatitis, in addition to timely medical care, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from hepatitis.
