Patient's question:
I have always been an HBV carrier, experiencing right lower rib pain for two years. This time, because I didn't want to eat, I had liver function tests done, which showed ALT 992, AST 56, and total bile acid 17,3. Later, I also had an HBV-DNA test, which came back as 1,25X10^4. How serious is my condition?Doctor's answer:
You currently not only have the contagiousness of the hepatitis B virus but also have abnormal liver function, diagnosed as chronic viral hepatitis. It is recommended to undergo antiviral treatment, which is the key to the treatment! It is advised to rest, maintain a high-calorie, high-vitamin diet, and avoid hepatotoxic drugs. Doctor's inquiry: If you have any concerns, please ask below with focus. If my explanation is helpful to you, please accept it with encouragement! For patients, if the hepatitis B condition is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and proper medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of hepatitis B. Additionally, patients need to maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can assist everyone.
