Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with hepatitis B virus during a health check-up at my workplace. Currently, I don't have any symptoms, but sometimes I feel a bit weak and don't enjoy greasy foods. The hospital conducted further tests, and the results showed normal ALT levels. With hepatitis B virus but normal ALT levels, should I be treated? How serious are liver diseases to a person's health?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B, as long as liver function is normal, generally does not require medication treatment, because so far, there is no specific medicine that can treat the hepatitis B virus. Although there are currently some antiviral drugs available, the conversion rate to negativity is very low.2. Pay attention to not drinking beer or smoking, and avoiding spicy, greasy foods. The diet should be based on lightness, low fat, low salt, and high protein. Eat more vegetables and fruits to enhance nutrition, strengthen the body, and boost the immune system. Engage in appropriate physical activities, avoid overexertion, prevent colds, and stay calm and happy. When patients face the harm of liver disease, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and avoid delaying medical visits. If liver disease does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to change the treatment plan in a timely manner.
