How to check for hepatitis B minor positive?

Patient's question:

I found out I had hepatitis B minor positive during my health check-up last year. At that time, I didn't get my health certificate, and couldn't get into the factory, so I went home. Later, I never went for a check-up because I didn't feel any discomfort. Now, I want to go for a check-up to see how my condition is, but I'm afraid I still won't be able to get into the factory. How is hepatitis B minor positive checked?

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B minor positive test items:
1. Liver function test, which can help determine the stage of the condition, whether it is mild or severe.
2. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP).
3. Hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody test (HBsAg and HBsAb). This test generally reflects the level of hepatitis B virus infection in the body.
4. Hepatitis B virus DNA test. This primarily helps understand the amount of hepatitis B virus in the body, how the virus replicates, how the patient is infected, the level of transmissibility, and the necessity of medication to control the condition.
5. Hepatitis B virus mutation and drug resistance test.
In addition to timely liver disease treatment, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure effective treatment.
