Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with in 2009 and underwent antiviral treatment for 3 years. Now I am , and my liver function is normal. The factory requires health check-up results, and do I still need to be treated?Doctor's answer:
Whether or not chronic hepatitis B with a high viral load requires treatment depends on the specific circumstances. If liver function tests are normal and abdominal ultrasound results are normal, treatment is not necessary. This situation falls under the immune tolerance phase of hepatitis B. According to the prevention and treatment guidelines for chronic hepatitis B, this condition does not require antiviral therapy, and antiviral treatment is not needed.If liver function tests become repeatedly abnormal for a duration of more than 3-6 months, and the viral load exceeds 10^5 copies/mL, this meets the criteria for antiviral treatment for hepatitis B and requires standardized antiviral therapy for hepatitis B. Antiviral treatment for hepatitis B can be divided into pegylated interferon antiviral therapy and oral nucleoside analog drugs. The specific choice depends on the patient's individual circumstances.
