Hello,
To the question “Does hepatitis B have to take medicine?”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your test results show: HBV-DNA= 21297 copies/ml (≥ 10^4 copies/mL) HBeAg=0.089 (regarded): Negative, HBeAb=0.003 (regarded): Negative. Thus, you have one of the criteria to treat hepatitis B.
However, you need to do other tests to distinguish acute and chronic hepatitis B virus (for the first case of infection detected for the first time). hepatitis B virus); assess the extent of liver cell damage (liver enzymes, liver fibrosis).... From the measurement, the doctor will advise on the appropriate treatment for your condition.
If you still have questions about hepatitis B treatment, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for testing and further advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
