Patient's question:
My good brother is already 37 years old this year. He has been really unhappy lately. Because he was diagnosed with hepatitis B and thought that hepatitis B could be fatal. So I wanted to verify with the doctor whether getting hepatitis B could lead to death?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is a blood-borne infectious disease that is not transmitted through the digestive or respiratory routes. It is a preventable and treatable disease, and it is not as frightening as you might imagine. If you have hepatitis B, you can go to a regular hospital for thorough examinations such as liver function tests, viral load tests, the five hepatitis B tests, and upper abdominal color Doppler ultrasound to clarify the course of the disease and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late, maintain a cheerful mood, and quit smoking and drinking.
