Patient's question:
Thirty years of hepatitis B infection, because of the recurrence of spider angiomas, I went to see a doctor. The result was that the hepatitis B surface antigen turned negative, and antibodies were present, with viral load <100. In the help of: What caused my spider angiomas?Doctor's answer:
Based on your question, the appearance of spider angiomas does not necessarily indicate a remission of hepatitis B; a surge in estrogen excretion can also lead to the recurrence of spider angioma. You previously had hepatitis B, but now you have surface antibodies, which is excellent news. A viral load below 1000 is normal. It is recommended to retest for hepatitis B surface antigen and liver function. If you indeed have hepatitis B surface antibodies, it is very good news. The probability of the hepatitis B virus spontaneously clearing on its own is only 3%, so you are very lucky.
