Patient's question:
Yesterday you explained my condition, which is hepatitis B minor positive. You said I needed to do hepatitis B virus DNA testing. At the hospital, the doctor performed a fluorescent gene quantitative test for HBV. Except for the chemiluminescence automatic immunoassay (carcinoembryonic antigen, alpha-fetoprotein, ferritin), everything else was fine, but the hyaluronic acid in the fibrosis test was high. Is there the DNA you mentioned?Doctor's answer:
It should be the first one. The English abbreviation for gene is DNA. What is the result? Is it negative? If it is negative, it proves that the virus level is too low to be detected, which is good. Antiviral treatment is limited to this extent, but it does not mean that there is no virus in the body at all, just a very small amount. In this case, unless there is cirrhosis (cirrhosis is an absolute indication for long-term antiviral treatment), there is no need for antiviral treatment. You can focus on follow-up and periodic reexaminations. I just saw your question again. Your DNA is over 900, it is positive, but the amount is not very large. If your liver function recovers after simple liver protection and enzyme reduction treatment, you can focus on careful observation. If abnormalities have occurred repeatedly from the past to the present.
