Some liver disease experts proposed that according to his experience in medicine for many years, he found that among many hepatitis B patients, 80% of them had three major misunderstandings, and now summarize them for everyone, hoping to tell the hepatitis B patients around him.
Myth 1: Some people are not antiviral when they are antiviral, thinking that taking a little liver protection medicine is enough
Some hepatitis B patients friends think that the drug is three points of poison, antiviral drugs will damage liver function, if the hepatitis B virus is replicating, has not been timely and effective maximum long-term inhibition, maintenance is no longer useful. Hepatitis will still develop, and it will still develop in the direction of cirrhosis and liver cancer. Patients with high alanine aminotransferase (ALT) should be treated with antiviral therapy at the same time as hepatoprotective enzymes, at this time, the body's immune clearance ability to hepatitis B virus is very strong, and the antiviral therapy effect is better.
2. Some people are bent on the pursuit of zero hepatitis B virus
Some patients in order to hepatitis B manifestation antigen (HBsAg) turn negative, think that eating antiviral drugs hepatitis B surface antigen can turn negative to let the virus clear zero, so they ran all over the country, quit their jobs and left their relatives, and finally spent all the money to get sick and not cured.
In fact, even with entecavir or tenofovir, there are very few patients whose hepatitis B surface antigen immediately turns negative. In fact, the purpose of treating hepatitis B is to live a long and healthy life, not to pursue the hepatitis B surface antigen to negative, at least not at this stage. Generally speaking, the stronger the antiviral ability of the drug, the faster and lower the patient's hepatitis B virus level drops, and the chance of virus mutation is correspondingly reduced, which can achieve the purpose of rapidly improving symptoms, early control of the disease, and reducing viral rebound.
3. Some friends pin their hopes for hepatitis B treatment on folk remedies or traditional Chinese medicine
Some friends will think, since the hospital has no way to treat, there is no way to turn the yin, it is pinned on the folk remedies, the result of poor physical fitness, the spirit is getting worse and worse, go to the hospital to check and find that the aminotransferase rises to more than 100 or even higher... The average person has a misconception that Chinese medicine has no side effects. In fact, Chinese medicine has side effects and is often invisible, unlike western medicine, which is clear and clear.
The indiscriminate use of herbs is more often based on viral hepatitis to increase the risk of drug-induced liver damage, which is not uncommon in China. Many traditional Chinese medicines are very harmful to the liver, such as neem, qingdai, mountain cigu, mountain bean root, bitter almond, etc., long-term use can lead to drug-induced liver damage. The liver is the center of human metabolism, and almost all substances that enter the human body are metabolized by the liver. Therefore, the use of too many drugs, whether western or Traditional Chinese, will increase the burden and the chance of damage to the liver, and the abuse of drugs to treat hepatitis has become an important cause of aggravated liver damage.
The above hepatitis B patient treatment misunderstanding, friends must not step on it again. In fact, there is no need for hepatitis B friends to be pessimistic and disappointed, lose confidence, and of course, do not want to go their own way and let it develop. Do usually pay attention to health care, closely follow up the condition, receive formal treatment, and still work and live like normal people, as long as the condition does not worsen or transform into cirrhosis and liver cancer, life expectancy will not be significantly affected.
