Patient's question:
Our unit conducted health check-ups for employees, and one of the blood test results showed a weak positive for hepatitis B surface antigen. I thought I had hepatitis B, so I asked the doctor for an explanation. They said I had hepatitis B antibodies, but they were weak, which is a good sign, not a bad one.Hello expert, how can I have liver disease, and what should I do?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it should not be surface antigen positive, right? How is it different from what the doctor said? The doctor said it was positive for hepatitis B surface antibody but weak. If you follow the doctor's meaning, you are weakly positive for surface antibody, which means you have antibodies, but they are relatively weak. You can take medicine and hepatitis B vaccine to boost them, and it should be fine. But if you said surface antigen is positive, it means you have hepatitis B infection and need treatment. I don't know if you made a mistake or something... Wishing you health and happiness!When patients face the impact of liver disease, we should actively implement careful examinations and treatments and avoid avoiding medical visits. If the liver disease is not cured after long-term treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
