Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel my liver is very tired. I haven't had much appetite. At night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to a nearby hospital for a check-up and they said it was liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. What kind of tests can confirm hepatitis?Doctor's answer:
If you frequently have close contact with a hepatitis B patient, in this case, it is still necessary to conduct thorough examinations to clarify the presence of hepatitis B. This mainly involves blood tests, which should be performed on an empty stomach to test for hepatitis B virus. Additionally, liver function tests should be conducted. If none of the five hepatitis B markers show antibodies, it is still recommended to get the hepatitis B vaccine to provide some preventive effect.
