Many people with acute hepatitis B have no symptoms and are unaware that they are infected. A small percentage of people with acute hepatitis B develop rapid and severe disease. If the liver is severely damaged and stops working, this happens. The term for this is acute liver failure

Symptoms of chronic hepatitis B

Fatigue, sadness and annoyance

(upper right abdomen) Liver pain

Nausea and diarrhea

lack of appetite

Joint aches and pains

Similar to acute hepatitis B, many patients with chronic hepatitis B show no signs of infection. But some people may experience symptoms of infection that are similar to those of other types of viral hepatitis. People with hepatitis B infection have a significantly higher risk of liver cancer.

Hepatitis B treatment

Treatment is not necessary for people with normal immunity and liver function. Chronically infected individuals without liver damage do not require treatment, but they do need constant monitoring. However, if a person has an impaired liver, they should consider getting hepatitis B treatment. Deciding when to start treatment can be difficult, so a gastroenterologist or hepatologist should be consulted

There are antiviral drugs and they are taken in the form of tablets daily for a year or more.

The goal of treatment is to either completely stop or slow the hepatitis B virus’s ability to multiply. You are less likely to develop a serious liver condition later in life, and your liver can heal some of the damage and function more effectively. However, it is unlikely that any of these medications will be able to successfully treat hepatitis B infection.

The hepatitis B virus can sometimes change during treatment, which means that antiviral tablets are less effective against the new version of the virus. This is the main negative effect of antiviral pills. The term for this is antiviral resistance

During treatment, the patient’s blood tests are monitored very carefully to look for signs of antiviral resistance. If there are signs of resistance such as elevated liver enzymes and elevated levels of hepatitis B virus in the blood, the antivirals may be changed.

Consider getting vaccinated

practice safe sex (use a condom)

Wash your hands after touching blood or body fluids

Wear disposable gloves when giving someone first aid, or cleaning up blood or body fluids

Avoid sharing toothbrushes, razors, needles, syringes, personal hygiene items, or anything that may come into contact with blood or body fluids.

Use new, sterile needles/syringes for each injection

Cover all open cuts and sores with a bandage or bandage

Wipe up any blood spots, then clean the area with bleach

Dispose of personal items such as tissues, menstrual pads, and pads in an airtight plastic bag.

Limit or avoid alcohol

Do not smoke

Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet

Those who have been exposed to hepatitis B virus and not vaccinated should receive hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) within 72 hours of exposure, and a dose of hepatitis B vaccine as soon as possible or within 7 days.
