🦠 Hepatitis B — Treatment Can Make a Difference!
A diagnosis of Hepatitis B does NOT mean the end of a healthy life. With proper evaluation, monitoring, and timely treatment, the risk of complications such as cirrhosis and liver cancer (HCC) can be significantly reduced.
💊 Antiviral medicines can suppress the Hepatitis B virus and protect the liver in patients who meet treatment criteria.
🔬 Treatment decisions depend on:
• HBV DNA (viral load)
• ALT/AST levels
• Liver fibrosis/cirrhosis status
• HBeAg status
• Age and other risk factors
⚠️ Never start or stop treatment without specialist guidance. Even patients who don't need immediate treatment may require regular monitoring.
❤️ Early diagnosis + regular follow-up = better liver health.
📍 Consult a Gastroenterologist & Hepatologist for personalized assessment.
