Hello doctor! Doctor let me ask, is there currently an effective treatment for chronic hepatitis B? I don't know if it is really good for people with liver disease?

Hello! For chronic hepatitis B, there are currently only antiviral drugs, no drugs to eradicate the virus. You need to have tests to monitor liver enzymes and kidney function while taking the drug. Particularly, the can is a functional food, there is no scientific research, so the doctor will not have a recommendation for customers.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
