As we all know, viral hepatitis has a high incidence rate in my country, and patients infected with hepatitis B virus are also a huge population in my country. I believe many people have a certain understanding of this disease. The five hepatitis B items are common tests to confirm whether they are infected with hepatitis B, but few people have heard of quantitative tests for hepatitis B virus. In fact, this test is very important for patients with hepatitis B. It can reflect the specific content of hepatitis B virus DNA in the patient's body, thereby judging the replication and infectivity of the virus. The higher the value, the greater the harm. Therefore, the quantification of hepatitis B virus is often used as a drug use indicator and drug discontinuation indicator for hepatitis B patients.
In clinical practice, when a patient is diagnosed with type B viral hepatitis through five hepatitis B tests, in principle, he will be asked to do a hepatitis B virus quantification immediately. Once the test results are as high as 10 to the power of 7 or 8, it means that the patient's body is replicated actively and has great harm. It is generally recommended that the patient take anti-hepatitis B virus drugs in time and undergo antiviral treatment, so that the virus content gradually decreases.
I am a liver disease doctor Sun Lihong. I remind all hepatitis B patients that when taking antiviral drugs and regular reviews, they must follow the doctor's instructions. Antiviral drugs must be used regularly and cannot be stopped without authorization; the review is checked at least once every six months, so as to minimize the replication of the virus and prevent the progress of liver disease!
