Patient's question:
Last month, because I was always feeling cold, having a fever, dry cough, and liver pain, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. During the check-up, an HBsAg test was conducted, and the results showed three positive items: items 3, 4, and 5 were positive. The doctor said I am an HBV carrier with severe hepatitis B (), and it is unlikely to turn negative. Now my skin has turned yellow. How can liver disease treatment be effective?Doctor's answer:
You still need to check your liver function and HBV DNA, because the treatment for hepatitis B mainly depends on liver function and HBV DNA. If HBV DNA is positive and liver function is abnormal, you will need antiviral treatment. If HBV DNA is positive and liver function is normal, you will need a liver biopsy to determine whether you need antiviral treatment. If HBV DNA is negative and liver function is abnormal, you will need liver-protecting treatment. In fact, having liver disease is not, patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
