Answer
Hello,
To the question “What should I do if I want to get pregnant with chronic hepatitis B? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
ALT = 59 IU/L is an increase in liver enzymes, but not too high. I need to see a specialist to evaluate more about the cause of elevated liver enzymes and treatment if necessary. - Hepatitis B virus carriers can still give birth normally, but need to be consulted and evaluated by a doctor during pregnancy for appropriate preventive treatment, minimizing the possibility of virus transmission from hepatitis B virus. mother to child.
If you still have questions about chronic hepatitis B, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
