What are the harms of having a small positive hepatitis B infection?

Patient's question:

This year, our company organized a health check-up at the hospital. The report showed that the doctor said I have a small hepatitis B positive. I am very worried and don't know what to do. My colleagues said it's nothing, that some people like me have had no problems in their first half of life. However, the doctor still recommended that I take medicine to take care of my health.

Doctor's answer:

After contracting hepatitis B with a small triangle positive result, as the hepatitis B virus continues to replicate, it will cause damage to the liver, leading to the death of a large number of liver cells, structural destruction of liver lobules, and endocrine dysfunction of liver function. When liver function in small triangle positive hepatitis B patients becomes abnormal, it will affect the body's normal metabolism, causing symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, aversion to greasy food, abdominal pain, and jaundice, which will severely impact daily life. The daily treatment for hepatitis B patients primarily focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications and supplement with vitamins, while also paying attention to their diet by consuming light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods. It is hoped that hepatitis B patients can recover as soon as possible!
