Patient's question:
I have had hepatitis B for over ten years. When I first noticed it, it was the "big three positive" (HBsAg, HBeAg, and anti-HBs). I underwent treatment for a year, but it didn't completely clear up. Later, I stopped taking medication, and to this day, I still test positive for the "big three." My liver function tests are normal, but my bilirubin levels are high, and my transaminase levels are normal. What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the treatment of hepatitis B, especially for the treatment of hepatitis B with elevated ALT, the main approach is antiviral therapy. However, it is not advisable to stop taking antiviral medication midway, as this can lead to viral gene mutation.1. It is recommended to undergo a thorough hepatitis B virus test, and strongly recommended to start antiviral therapy.
2. There are many methods for taking liver-protecting medications and reducing bilirubin to treat liver disease. However, since the condition of each patient is different, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to receive a prompt diagnosis so that they can receive targeted treatment.
