Patient's question:
My uncle went out to work odd jobs early on. He worked on a construction site, where the work was very tiring. He was already frail and often ill, and the poor conditions on the site led to him contracting hepatitis. He often felt pain in his liver area, had a yellow complexion, and generally looked unwell. What are the treatment methods for chronic hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for chronic hepatitis B () should include a comprehensive approach encompassing antiviral therapy, immune enhancement, liver protection, and fibrosis prevention. A comprehensive evaluation should be conducted to tailor the treatment. Commonly used antiviral medications include interferon, nucleoside analogs, and immune modulators. In daily life, in addition to taking precautions to prevent transmission to others, it generally does not affect work, daily activities, exercise, or fertility. However, regular liver function tests should be performed, and if abnormal liver function is detected, timely treatment and appropriate isolation measures should be taken. There are several treatment methods for hepatitis, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach may differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
