Can hepatitis B naturally turn negative?

Patient's question:

My wife has now been carefully diagnosed with hepatitis B. My good friend told me that hepatitis B might naturally turn into a negative result, but I'm very skeptical about whether this is true. Does hepatitis B naturally turn negative? Doctor, how should hepatitis B be treated? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B can indeed have a certain chance of resolving on its own, but it is less than 1%, so the probability is very low. If it reappears, it is recommended to promptly visit a regular hospital for follow-up and improve relevant tests to determine whether liver function and hepatitis B virus DNA copy numbers have decreased. If both of these indicators rise again, it is appropriate to take liver-protecting medications and antiviral medications in a timely manner. If hepatitis B virus hepatitis itself has not caused harm to the body, it can be carefully observed.
