Patient's question:
My physical condition has always been good. Recently, I had a unit physical examination for the two pairs of half, and the doctor said I had a small three positive. Afterwards, I had an liver function test, and the report showed negative for DNA. I don't really understand the meaning of this test report. Besides the doctor saying I had a small three positive, what are the hazards of it?Doctor's answer:
DNA testing is used to infer the level of virus activity in the body based on the presence of viral DNA copies. The hepatitis B surface antigen/antibody profile (two pairs of tests) reflects the arrangement of antigens and antibodies in the body after hepatitis B infection. Although the two are related, they are still different indicators. Although your hepatitis B DNA test is negative, you have previously been infected with hepatitis B. Three antibodies in the hepatitis B surface antigen/antibody profile will remain and are unlikely to disappear, but this has no impact on your health. It only indicates that you have had hepatitis B and now have immunity. The daily treatment for liver disease primarily focuses on symptomatic management. Patients can take oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
