Hepatitaise b reoprt postive or not I am sandeep saxena from Mathura

Female | 32

You must know what possible symptoms to look for ‘fatigue, jaundice, and abdominal discomfort’ in order not to be misled by wrong conclusions. This is a disease primarily caused by a virus that affects the liver which is usually through contact with bodily fluids that are infected. One of the ways to handle this includes frequently checking your body function along with well-balanced food and using the right medicines for a long time. It is my strong belief that you should start off discussing your case with a healthcare provider for a thorough examination as well as a personalized prescription.

I've been dealing with a complex set of symptoms that have persisted and worsened over the years, and I'm hoping to get your advice on how to move forward. Here’s an overview: - I've had flu-like symptoms for 23 years, which now occur 4-5 times a week. - I experience severe breathing issues, with some episodes lasting up to 9 weeks. - I have constant and aggressive eczema on my legs and abdomen, frequent abscess eruptions, and persistent joint pain. - I also struggle with severe intestinal cramps, alternating between diarrhea and constipation, eye and hearing issues, and clubbing of my fingers. - Additionally, I have a known Hepatitis B infection. Despite being regularly prescribed antibiotics, which only provide temporary relief, my symptoms continue to get worse. These issues are severely affecting my daily life.

Your symptoms suggest a complex and multi-system health issue that requires thorough evaluation. The combination of respiratory problems, skin conditions, gastrointestinal symptoms, and chronic hepatitis B infection indicates that you might be dealing with an underlying autoimmune or systemic condition. Consult with a rheumatologist for a comprehensive assessment, as they specialize in autoimmune and systemic inflammatory disorders. Additionally, a hepatologist for your Hepatitis B management and a dermatologist for your skin conditions would be essential to get a holistic treatment plan.

Managing stage 3 cirrhosis requires careful medical attention. Symptoms can include fatigue, jaundice, and swelling in the abdomen. Causes often relate to chronic alcohol use, viral hepatitis, or fatty liver disease. To effectively treat this condition, lifestyle changes, medications, and regular monitoring are vital. Seeking care at a teaching hospital or community clinic may offer low-cost options. It’s also beneficial to consult a gastroenterologist or hepatologist specializing in liver issues.

I am 28years old,female and I am hepB carrier. My dad has undergone liver transplant surgery due to liver cirrhosis and tumour. I checked my HBVDNA and it's quite high in level (in crores) and I have consulted a doctor and he advised me to take antiviral drugs(Tafero800mg-OD) as a preventive measures since my dad suffered from liver cancer. I have taken this medicine for more than 4month and it doesn't bring changes in Dna level counts. So I discontinued my treatment. My all blood reports as well as USG and liver fibroscan is normal but my HbvDna level is still up. My dad has been taking tab.entaliv 0.5mg and it helps my dad's level to come down drastically. Please do prescribed me the best and most effective medicine,Thank you.

• Hepatitis B carriers are persons who carry the hepatitis B virus in their blood but do not experience symptoms. Between 6% and 10% of persons infected with the virus will become carriers and will be able to infect others without knowing it.

• A considerable proportion of chronic hepatitis B (HBV) patients are in the inactive carrier state, which is characterised by normal transaminase levels, limited viral replication, and little liver necroinflammatory activity. After at least one year of frequent monitoring, a diagnosis is made, and lifelong follow-up is required to ensure that this status is maintained.

• In case there is no improvement in HBVDNA levels, consult your expert but do not stop the medication on your own.

• Drugs prescribed such as Tafero (tenofovir) acts by ceasing the production of new viruses, blocks or slows viral proliferation in human cells, and eliminates the infection and also boost the level of CD4 cells (white blood cells that fight infection) in your blood. Entaliv (entecavir) acts by inhibiting the viral replications processes like reverse transcription, DNA replication and transcription.

• Seek the advice of a hepatologist so that your treatment may be adjusted according to your specific needs and preferences.

Male | 18

Fatty liver could be a cause for this. When your liver is not in shape, you may urinate more. The symptoms of peeliya are that your body turns yellow, you get tired then dark urine appears. On the one hand, keeping the diet and abstaining from alcohol is a possibility. Drinking plenty of water is another good tip. Consult a gastroenterologist for further treatments.

You have a transplanted kidney, and your liver has higher GGT. This is an enzyme that indicates liver issues. Additionally, you have early-stage fatty liver, where excess fat accumulates in liver cells. Fatigue, abdominal discomfort, and jaundice are possible symptoms. Maintaining a nutritious diet and regular exercise can be beneficial. However, consulting your healthcare team is crucial

Male | 39

Elevated levels of ALT and AST can indicate liver stress or damage, which might arise from various causes like fatty liver, alcohol use, certain medications, or viral infections. Bilirubin levels seem within general limits, but it's essential to monitor them alongside liver enzymes. Your triglycerides and LDL cholesterol are slightly above the desired range, which points to dietary or lifestyle factors. Consider adopting a balanced diet, regular exercise, and reducing alcohol intake. It’s advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized recommendations to ensure your well-being.

Hi i have recently gotten a level of 104 ALT on a blood test and my mom is freaking out I really don't want to have anything serious and i'm really scared. Could it be because of my inactivity levels during the summer? I recently gained a lot of weight since I did not exercise in the summer and I am now 5'8 and 202 pounds.

Male | 18

You're worried about your ALT level being 104. ALT is a liver enzyme that can rise when there's a liver issue. Inactivity and weight gain can affect liver health, often leading to fatty liver, even without symptoms. The solution is regular exercise and a healthier diet. Taking care of your liver through a healthy lifestyle is key.

Elevated liver enzymes like SGPT and SGOT can indicate liver stress or damage, often due to factors such as fatty liver disease, alcohol consumption, or medication use. Since you’re currently experiencing no symptoms, it's encouraging.
