Hepatitis B is a legal Class B infectious disease in my country. It is currently both a "caused disease", a "difficult disease" and a "chronic disease". Causative diseases refer to long-term recurrence and irregular treatment, which may induce liver cancer ; difficult diseases refer to the fact that there is no reliable drug to cure hepatitis B so far, and can only cure in clinical practice; chronic diseases refer to the fact that hepatitis B can be prevented and controlled after efforts, and belongs to the type of chronic disease.
my country was once a major hepatitis B country. After 20 or 30 years of hard work, the hepatitis B infection rate has dropped from the highest of about 8% to 0.96%. Currently, there are about 70 million hepatitis B people, and contains two major categories: hepatitis B virus carriers and hepatitis B patients. Among them, the hepatitis B virus carrier only has hepatitis B virus on its body, and the rest of the symptoms are no different from those of healthy people. Patients with hepatitis B have various symptoms after the onset of hepatitis and require timely antiviral treatment.
Hepatitis B is caused by a large replication of the hepatitis B virus after it drills into the liver. The main transmission paths include vertical maternal and infant infection, blood transmission and high-risk behaviors of men and women. Yellow people are most susceptible to infection .
Hex B virus has existed since ancient times, but it was not discovered until the 1960s and the true appearance was not seen in the 1970s. It is the smallest known virus with minimal structure, but with a huge impact on humans. The single one is only 42 nanometers in size, the cells only have DNA proteins plus a " surface antigen " jacket. When it enters the liver, it immediately throws off the coat and hangs it outside the liver cells, and then drills into the nucleus of the liver cells, combining to form a very stable "hepatitis B virus parent", namely cccDNA, with a lifespan of 14 years, and it constantly replicates the descendants of the hepatitis B virus around the clock.
At this time, the person infected with the hepatitis B virus is a virus carrier. If you check it, you can see that hepatitis B surface antigen positive , but the immune system, which is responsible for the human security, does not remove the hepatitis B virus in time. The human body is in the "immune tolerance period". This period can be long or short. As long as it is maintained properly, some carriers may not have any disease in their lifetime; but some carriers break the "immune tolerance period" and enter the "immune clearance period", and hepatitis B attacks.
The reason for the attack of hepatitis B is that while immune cells kill the hepatitis B virus, the virus and liver cells are closely linked together, and the liver cells are also eliminated. The gua enzyme and gua enzyme hidden in the liver cells have successively penetrated into the blood. You can find it after a physical examination, and the body will also have liver symptoms.
Immune cells clear the hepatitis B virus for 24 hours. These cleared viruses are all descendants of the hepatitis B virus parent, but immune cells cannot clear the hepatitis B virus parent hidden deep in the hepatitis B nucleus. The hepatitis B virus was removed, and hepatitis cells died, and some were dissolved, but most of the liver cells stayed in place and no longer had any functions. They were like "stones". As the disease progressed, there were more and more stones, which was a sign of liver fibrosis.
The regenerated organ of the liver, because the dead liver cells cannot be moved away, fresh liver cells can only find a location to proliferate. On the other hand, the dead liver cells are also increasing, and the blood flow of the liver is gradually affected, and portal hypertension, fundus varicose veins, etc. appear. In the deeper development is cirrhosis . If there is no intervention, liver cancer may occur.
Therefore, once hepatitis B virus carriers enter the "immune clearance period" and develop symptoms of hepatitis, they must treat them in time to prevent hepatitis from taking steady steps and pressing step by step to start the process of cirrhosis and liver cancer. According to statistics, my country ranks first in the world in the number of liver cancer, and more than 80% are caused by hepatitis B.
Unfortunately, some hepatitis B patients had the inflammation that could be controlled and the development of cirrhosis could be suppressed, but in the end they were still taken away by liver cancer. In the end, it was ruined by "tolerance", mistakenly "medicine", and died from "drag".
Why can’t hepatitis B be “tolerated”? This tolerance means tolerance and tolerance. You cannot sit idly by the development of hepatitis, but also control your own habits. has three manifestations:
1. I believe that all indicators of hepatitis B examinations were normal earlier, and I ignored regular physical examinations. The liver has no pain and nerves, and I don’t know if there is any malignancy. When you are unwell, the situation is no longer optimistic - the physical examination for hepatitis B virus carriers is at least once a year. Hepatitis B patients have 2-4 times a year, and they can check them at any time if they have any abnormalities.
2. I think young people can stand the trouble, can't help working overtime, overwork, staying up late, and some even drink alcohol frequently. These are all driving forces that induce hepatitis or accelerate the malignant change of the disease. Temporary indulgence may bring long-term pain - patients with hepatitis B must stay away from alcohol and reject bad living habits.
3. I believe that hepatitis B is inferior to others and I have something to hold in my heart. As a result, I have long-term psychological depression and liver disease worsens - Hepatitis B patients are in a cheerful mood, and it is very important to promptly guide and relieve them.
Why do hepatitis B often mistakenly refer to "medicine"? It’s not that the medicine is useless, but that there are too many incorrect methods for using the medicine .
1. I was afraid of the high price and was reluctant to take it. In the past, some imported drugs had just been on the market and had not yet entered medical insurance. The monthly medical expenses were a month's salary. Many patients could not afford them and could only endure it.
2. Do not take medicine according to regulations. With the pressure of domestic generic drugs and centralized procurement, some patients are too casual about taking medicine for a long time. They either forget to take it, either eat or stop or do not take it according to the dosage. Some simply stop taking the medicine privately, and they end up being resistant.
3. Some patients believe in folk remedies and miraculous doctors, and do not seriously consider antiviral treatment, which will eventually delay the condition. From a practical perspective, combining mainstream antiviral drugs with liver protection drugs is a better way.
Why did hepatitis B eventually die of "drag"? Some hepatitis B patients develop to the end, which is the outcome of liver cancer .
There are many causes of liver cancer, but it is recognized that it was delayed. The antiviral treatment was lying flat, but it should be reviewed on time but it was slow. The surgery was removed from the small lesions, and it was still lucky even if it had symptoms of cirrhosis.
study found that the liver is repeatedly damaged and liver cancer cells will appear. It may take more than ten years for a few nanometers to develop into small liver cancer with a diameter of 0.5-1 cm, but from 1 cm to 3 cm and 5 cm, it may only take 6 months to 1 year to 1 year, so hepatitis B treatment cannot be delayed.
In short, hepatitis B is not scary. It is scary to have a lucky, pessimistic, and indifferent attitude towards hepatitis B. It is correct to carefully evaluate your own condition, carry out targeted prevention and review, and control various health indicators.
