Patient's question:
I am an patient, but recently I found it worsened. I want to ask if it is very serious?Doctor's answer:
For individuals with chronic hepatitis B (HBeAg-positive), further detailed tests on liver function and HBV-DNA are necessary to accurately assess the condition and determine the appropriate treatment. If liver function tests are normal, the individual is considered a hepatitis B carrier and does not require immediate treatment. However, if liver function tests show alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels more than twice the normal range and HBV-DNA levels above 10^5 copies/mL, antiviral treatment is required.For patients, if the condition of chronic hepatitis B (HBeAg-positive) is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, the condition may relapse. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
