Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
The primary treatment aims for persons with hepatitis B (HBV) infection is to prevent progression of the disease, particularly to cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma.
A combined approach of suppressing viral load and boosting the patient’s immune response is needed for the best prognosis.
Treatment depends on the investigations suggestive of aminotransferase levels (AST & ALT), positive HBV DNA findings and positive or negative hepatitis B e antigen [HBeAg]. Treatment includes administration of anti-viral drugs along with gamma-interferons.
Along with the treatment, low salt diet and high protein diet is recommended.
Kindly consult Physician for proper evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
