Patient's question:
My father was carefully diagnosed with fatty liver, high blood pressure, and high blood lipids. The doctor said the transaminase level in his liver was high, and it might develop into hepatitis B. My father received two hepatitis B vaccines, and one of them needs to wait until June. The old man loves his child and always dislikes feeding the child vegetables at dinner. I want to know if fatty liver can be transmitted to family members?Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver and hepatitis B are two completely different types of liver diseases, and there is no issue of transformation. Of course, it is correct that your father's liver has inflammation, and it is important to prevent complications caused by hepatitis virus invasion. Therefore, getting the hepatitis B vaccine is also correct. Fatty liver is not infectious, and he does not have the hepatitis B virus, so there is no need to worry about feeding the child vegetables. Moreover, children are now vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine after birth, which is completely fine. For severe fatty liver patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
