Hepatitis B Knowledge Questions and Answers
Early detection, early treatment, hepatitis B knowledge is the key point!
01
How to detect hepatitis B early?
If you want to know if you are infected with hepatitis B virus, you can draw blood at the hospital to check for hepatitis B markers as soon as possible, namely hepatitis B two and a half< /span>.
02
< strong>Hepatitis B vaccine must be given three shots?
Antibody is generally produced after the hepatitis B vaccine. Some studies have shown that about 30% to 40% of people after the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine develop antibodies, and about 60% to 70% of people after the second dose of hepatitis B vaccine. More than 90% of the people in the latter group have produced antibodies, so after 3 injections of the whole course of vaccination, the probability of protective antibodies in the body is higher.
03
Daily contact
Can I be infected with hepatitis B virus?
Not necessarily. saliva, urine, blood, bile and breast milk of hepatitis B patients or carriers of the virus can contain HBV, daily necessities (such as toothbrushes, nail clippers, razors, toys, etc.) can also cause HBV transmission if they are contaminated. That is, it mainly relies on blood transmission, mother-to-child transmission and sexual contact transmission.
but working in the same office (including shared computers and other office supplies), handshake, hug , eating in the same restaurant, sharing toilets, etc. Contacts without blood exposure generally do not transmit HBV.
04
Can hepatitis B develop into liver cancer?
The hepatitis B progression trilogy includes chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis B cirrhosis, liver cancer, but not every hepatitis B All patients will develop liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. After activeantiviral therapy and regular follow-up, most patients can delay the progression of the disease.
05
< strong>Can Hepatitis B be cured?
Acute hepatitis B can be completely cured, but there is no effective drug for chronic hepatitis B in clinical practice.
Chronic hepatitis B, like many chronic diseases, is a Long-term, progressive disease. The main strategies of current treatment are regulartesting, standardizedtreatment strong>, control the disease to the greatest extent, so as to reduce the life andimpact on life.
Although the currently used nucleoside antiviral drugs and interferon have clear antiviral effects, they only control the replication of the virus and delay the progression of the disease. The purpose is to not completely remove the hepatitis B virus from the body. To completely eradicate hepatitis B virus, the body also needs a good immune response to achieve the effect.
06
“Two and a Half” and “Big and Small”
What are they?
The screening of hepatitis B virus serological indicators is commonly known as “two pairs and half”.
Includes:
HBsAg: HBV surface antigen
HBsAb: HBV Surface antibody
HBeAg: HBV e antigen
HBeAb: HBV eantibody< /strong>
HBcAb: Hepatitis B virus core antibody
The common test results and explanations are as follows:
The “two and a half” test results only represent the status of hepatitis B virus serum markers, the disease status and the severity of the disease. Comprehensive judgment is made based on a series of examination results such as clinical signs, liver function, HBV viral load, etc..
07
Hepatitis B virus carriers cannot marry and have children?
You can get married, but before marriage, it is best to test the hepatitis B antigen antibody system in the blood, that is, “two pairs and a half”. If the results are negative, it is best to go to refill hepatitis B vaccine. Newborns must have the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth.
08
< strong>HBSAg positive mother
Newborn after hepatitis B vaccine
Can it be completely guaranteed not to be infected with hepatitis B?
None of the vaccines is 100% protective, therefore, 100% protection against hepatitis B cannot be guaranteed for newborns of HBSAg-positive mothers.
If the newborns use the hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin standardly, at least the vast majority of newborn Children are protected from hepatitis B virus infection. Studies have shown that the simultaneous use of “hepatitis B vaccine + hepatitis B immune globulin” in neonates born to HBsAg, HBeAg double-positive and HBsAg single-positive mothers is better than the use of hepatitis B vaccine alone. (best use is within 12 hours after birth).
09
Who is susceptible to hepatitis B virus?
Age at the time of HBV infection is the most important factor affecting chronicity. Among those infected with hepatitis B virus during the perinatal period and infancy, 90% and 25% to 30% will develop chronic infection respectively, while only 5% to 10% of those infected after the age of 5 develop chronic infection.
Hepatitis B virus infection in my country is mostly perinatal or infancy period< /span>Infection.
10
What should hepatitis B patients usually pay attention to?
Avoid spicy Easy spicy food Cause liver and gallbladder qi disorders, weakened digestive function.
No smoking Tobacco contains toxic substances such as nicotine, which can damage liver function and inhibit liver cells Regenerate and repair. Therefore, hepatitis B patients must quit smoking.
NoIt is advisable to drink alcohol Alcohol is metabolized in the liver, which will damage the normal enzyme system of liver cells and cause liver cell necrosis.
Avoid the abuse of antibiotics and hormones “It’s a drug that is poisonous”, and most drugs can damage the liver. Hepatitis B patients must be under the correct guidance of the doctor, rational use of medication, medication with caution.
Avoid eating too much protein diet Patients with hepatitis B due to gastric mucosa edema, bile secretion disorder and other reasons, the digestion and absorption function Lower, eating too much protein can cause indigestion.
Avoid high-copper diet When patients with liver insufficiency, the balance of copper in the body is not well regulated, and copper is easily accumulation in the liver. Too much copper in the liver can lead to necrosis of liver cells and cause renal insufficiency. Therefore, patients with liver disease should eat less copper-rich foods such as jellyfish, squid, shrimp, and snails.
Avoid irregular life “Three-part rule and seven-part nourishment”. Adequate sleep, reasonable nutrition, regular life, moderate exercise every day, and a combination of work and rest.
Avoid anger, pessimism, anxiety and other negative emotions Negative emotions are not good for liver health.
Reduce leftovers and moldy foods Leftovers contain nitrite, which can be further converted into nitrosamines; moldy foods contain aflatoxin. All of the above are high-risk factors for causing liver cancer.
