Patient's question:
I am a patient with uremia. I undergo a detailed check of the five hepatitis tests every six months. Previously, all the results were negative. Yesterday's test showed a positive result for hepatitis B core antibody. Can this issue be resolved?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the illness, uremia already weakens the body's foundation and reduces resistance. Eating at unclean small restaurants and poor hygiene in daily life may make you more susceptible to infection compared to others. Additionally, long-term dialysis and the use of blood products are also many high-risk factors. Therefore, maintain a calm mindset, and if infected, seek treatment. Follow the doctor's advice to take medication regularly for a long period, especially antiviral drugs, without stopping or increasing the dosage until HBeAg converts to HBeAb two years later, while also undergoing regular liver function tests. There are many methods for treating hepatitis, but since the symptoms vary, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
