Hello doctor. I have hepatitis B, the most recent test was for the virus to count about 6000, more than the previous count. I want to ask in case the amount of hepatitis B virus increases, should I take medicine? Thank you doctor.

Hello! The amount of hepatitis B virus in your blood is not the only factor your doctor will determine if you need medicine. Doctors also need to examine, ask about medical history and family factors, evaluate liver and kidney function, ... to decide whether to start treatment or not.
Therefore, I need to see a specialist for specific advice and prescribe medicine if necessary. You can register for an examination at a hospital under Vinmec Health System. I hope to meet you and discuss more about the situation, the amount of hepatitis B virus increases, should I take medicine? I wish you good health always. Best regards.
