Hello. Hepatitis B is a disease caused by the HBV virus, and if the infection becomes chronic it is important to prevent and minimize damage to the liver. With proper treatment, the prognosis is usually very good. However, it is not always necessary to immediately treat with antiviral drugs, but it is necessary to monitor and test the status of the liver as well as the body so that the treatment can be most effective.
Your need to do is to monitor and examine your liver periodically, limit excessive exercise, supplement nutrition and reduce the consumption of substances harmful to the liver.
HBV DNA is an index used to assess viral replication and is a landmark used to decide on antiretroviral therapy in hepatitis B patients. These milestones are based on large international studies and updated annually according to available medical data. Therefore, it is extremely useful to monitor this index in the clinical setting to help the doctor and the patient together come up with the best treatment for you.
For in-depth advice on your health status, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System to register for an examination. Experienced doctors will examine and give treatment directions in case of need. Best regards.
