Patient's question:
The onset of symptoms was about fifteen days ago. I haven't been able to eat much, felt discomfort in my chest, and was very tired. I had a thorough liver function test, and my ALT was 236 and AST was 124. I was hospitalized and received intravenous drips for four days. The doctor said I needed a few more days of treatment, but I still feel very tired and can't eat. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
I feel very tired and can't eat because my liver is damaged, unable to metabolize food in the body, and it affects the production of gastric juice. As a result, my physical strength is not keeping up, and I don't feel like eating dinner. In this regard, through standardized treatment, the liver function will gradually recover after being completely restored, and ALT 236 AST 124. Your current condition is quite serious, and it is recommended to receive standardized treatment. Chronic hepatitis B is prone to outbreaks and is highly contagious. You need to pay attention to antiviral treatment. I don't know if you have had an HBV DNA test. If it's convenient, I suggest directly "clicking for consultation" to communicate online for more appropriate guidance. Hepatitis B brings great harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay attention to dietary issues, with a focus on light food. I hope hepatitis B patients can receive professional treatment.
