This is an automatically translated article.

Question
Hello doctor. Recently, I went for a health check, the doctor said that I did not have antibodies against hepatitis B virus, liver enzymes were slightly increased. I hardly touch alcohol. The doctor asked me, what test do I need to do to know for sure if I have hepatitis B virus or not? How is the treatment? What should you pay attention to when eating and drinking? I hope you can give me some advice, thanks.

Answer
Hello!
You need to see a gastroenterologist for advice on testing for hepatitis viruses and finding the cause of elevated liver enzymes if not due to a virus. Knowing the cause is the only way to treat it.
You can visit the hospitals of Vinmec Health System nationwide to be consulted more carefully by qualified and experienced doctors. Wish you healthy!
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards!
