Patient's question:
I am 2 and a half months pregnant and undergoing a detailed check-up for hepatitis B. The hepatitis B surface antibody is positive, while the rest are negative, except for alanine aminotransferase (ALT) at 42. What does this mean? Is it serious? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
A positive hepatitis B surface antibody indicates that you have been vaccinated against hepatitis B or have fully recovered from hepatitis B infection. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is slightly elevated at 42. If the rest of the test results are normal, it has no clinical significance and there is no need to worry too much. In addition to treating hepatitis B, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process. During the treatment period, it is also necessary to pay attention to bed rest. Avoid strenuous exercise, maintain a relaxed mood, and do not have too much pressure.
