Patient's question:
My father has viral cirrhosis. I have a detailed check-up report from a while ago and would like to have the doctor take a look at it. It mentions something about 100YMDD variants, in addition to the hepatitis B surface antigen test. The doctor wrote something but I can't understand what he meant. Other liver function tests, such as transaminases, are normal. My father said this is the best test result he's had so far. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
After reading your description, this is still a problem related to a virus, and you are currently taking antiviral medication. As long as your transaminase levels are normal, it proves that the virus is no longer very active, and the condition is well-controlled. You can focus on antiviral treatment, but it is important to have regular check-ups and see a hepatology doctor for follow-up visits to adjust the medication plan as needed. For patients with severe liver cirrhosis, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary to prevent the recurrence of liver cirrhosis. In addition, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a positive mood.
