Patient's question:
I am an patient, 20 years old this year, and my mother is a . I used to take Chinese medicine for a period of time, but it didn't work and was unpleasant, so I stopped. Now, after a thorough check, my ALT is 89 and AST is 56. The doctor recommended treatment. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for patients with hepatitis B () involves two main aspects:One is to reduce the body's immune response and lower its antiviral capabilities. When the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level exceeds 80, it indicates that the body's autoimmune mechanism has been activated, and at this point, antiviral medication is more effective. The DNA must turn negative before the condition can stabilize.
The other is to adopt liver-protecting treatments to ensure normal liver function and prevent liver damage. It is recommended that you undergo a systematic and thorough examination at a specialized hospital and follow the medication guidance provided by experts.
Additionally, it is important to pay attention to diet, avoid alcohol, and avoid spicy foods. Avoid overexertion and staying up late, and maintain a positive mood while strengthening physical exercise to further reduce the immune response.
Hepatitis B patients can, while understanding standard treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. Proper dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
