I will organize my website every day and respond to various inquiries from hepatitis B patients in a timely manner. Today a 45 year old male patient consulted me through the website and his treatment experience and thoughts made me feel sad. Our Chinese chronic hepatitis B guidelines have been updated to the third edition, and chronic hepatitis B has become a more manageable disease, but I am still speechless by the fact that there are still patients who treat chronic hepatitis B this way! The patient’s online consultation: I have had a history of hepatitis B for almost 16 years. At present, my liver function is basically normal, but for more than ten years I have only had a two-to-one half when I started, and it was a major triple-positive. I have been trying to maintain this status quo for so many years and have also been looking forward to a new breakthrough in medical technology, especially in the treatment of hepatitis B, so that hepatitis B patients can be truly cured and free from their afflictions. My problem has been clearly stated in the previous information. I urgently request the director to give the best and most satisfactory answers. I found out I had acute hepatitis B in August 2000 and received treatment from a Chinese medicine doctor at the local health center, which was actually quite effective. It is possible that I had a relapse in March 2002 because of my own maintenance problems, so I went to the Infectious Disease Department of Ning Hua County People’s Hospital in Fujian Province, a neighboring county, for treatment. In fact, the effect is also good, is not willing to face the reality, do not believe that the surface antigen of hepatitis B can not be turned negative. I think since the hospital can not cure to turn negative, hope on folk herbal medicine, hope that a miracle happens. So he listened to some herbalists and took a lot of herbal medicines. As a result, my health deteriorated and I lost energy day by day, and my transaminases rose to more than 100 at the hospital. At that time, I spent all my savings to cure the disease, and I couldn’t afford to go to the hospital for inpatient treatment. I had no choice but to seek help from a local Chinese medicine doctor, who checked my pulse and prescribed Chinese medicine. I took herbal soup in the morning and evening, and at noon, I took the liver-protecting medicine Wuzhizhou capsule and liver-protecting tablets that I had used during my hospitalization in Ninghua County, and after a period of time, my health improved significantly and my liver function returned to normal. However, since then, I have never stopped taking the pentosidine capsules and liver-protective tablets. Although I know that long-term medication also increases the burden on my liver, I still insist on taking both of them in small amounts, one capsule per dose 3 times a day for pentacos, and 3 capsules per dose 3 times a day for liver protection tablets. Anyway, I take them in reduced amounts. In addition, I usually go to the original Chinese medicine doctor two to three times a year to consult my pulse and prescribe herbal medicine to nourish my body. Once or twice a year, I have my liver function rechecked. I did this because I was too afraid of a relapse. Up to now, my liver function is also normal. Still, I am very eager for medical technology to develop and advance at a high speed. I hope that one day soon I can really cure hepatitis B and turn major and minor triplets negative. I also learned a lot about antiviral drugs, but these drugs are not only expensive, especially the effect is not very ideal, and you can not stop taking them at will, once you use them, it is like letting people fall into a bottomless pit. So that’s why I don’t dare to go for antiviral treatment, I don’t dare to take such risks. Some years ago, I heard about some new treatments for hepatitis B, such as gene immunotherapy and cellular immunotherapy. It was fascinating to hear about them, and it made people feel that technology has brought us new hope. However, there is no recent news about this. Could you please tell us what the latest technology and the highest level of treatment for hepatitis B is now? Here is my reply: I have been working in an infectious disease hospital since I graduated from school in 1991, and I have been in contact with numerous patients with chronic hepatitis B. My deepest feeling is that some misconceptions of patients are the most difficult to change! You have stepped into many misconceptions about chronic hepatitis B. Don’t delay any longer! “I found out I had acute hepatitis B in August 2000”. The onset of acute hepatitis B in adults can be cured in more than 95% within six months. 2000, up to now has delayed antiviral treatment for 16 years, it is estimated that there is a considerable probability that there is already a tendency of cirrhosis of the liver! We suggest you to improve the following tests in time: liver function, HBVDNA quantification, hepatitis B five quantification (Abbott reagent), blood sugar, kidney function, AFP, blood routine, urine routine, liver CT enhancement scan, liver elastic ultrasound. I have some scientific articles on hepatitis B. I hope you will take the time to read them. The current level of treatment for hepatitis B is already very high, as long as the standard treatment, most can reach the hepatitis B surface antigen to turn negative, just need a longer time. The actual fact is that you should not delay any longer! The actual fact is that you will not have to delay any longer! Chinese herbal medicine cannot cure hepatitis B, nor can liver-protective drugs. Chronic hepatitis B must be treated with standardized antiviral therapy, no doubt. Your knowledge of hepatitis B, may exceed the consensus of liver disease experts around the world? The author’s perception: the patient’s various perceptions of chronic hepatitis B misconceptions, can be described as a collection! Myth #1: “I found out I had acute hepatitis B in August 2000 and received treatment from a TCM doctor at the local health center, which was actually quite effective.” In fact, acute hepatitis B in adults is rare, and most chronic hepatitis B develops on the basis of chronic carriage. Chinese medicine can relieve symptoms, but it is difficult to completely control disease progression. Myth 2: “It is possible that the cause of the problem of their own maintenance, chronic hepatitis B in March 2002 the disease relapsed, so went to the neighboring county of Fujian Province, Ning Hua County People’s Hospital Infectious Disease Treatment” , if the hepatitis B virus replication is not timely, effective, maximum long-term suppression, you maintain the good maintenance is useless, hepatitis as usual, as usual Step by step to cirrhosis, liver cancer! Myth 3, “I went to the neighboring county of Fujian Province Ning Hua County People’s Hospital infectious disease treatment. In fact, the efficacy is also good, is not willing to face the reality, do not believe that hepatitis B surface antigen can not turn negative.” Even with treatment with Pyroxin or Tenofovir, there are very few patients with hepatitis B surface antigen turning negative. We treat hepatitis B for the purpose of living a long and healthy life, not for the pursuit of hepatitis B surface antigen conversion! Myth 4: “I think since the hospital can not be cured to turn negative, hope in folk herbal medicine, hoping that a miracle happens. So they listened to some herbalists and took a lot of herbal medicines. As a result, the health of the body is deteriorating, day by day, there is no energy, go to the hospital to check the transaminases rose to more than 100 again.” The first thing you can do is to try herbal medicine. The indiscriminate use of herbal medicine, more often than not, is adding drug hepatitis to viral hepatitis, adding fuel to the fire, will there be fewer such tragedies in China? Myth #5: “At that time, I spent all my savings in order to cure the disease, and then I couldn’t afford to go to the hospital for inpatient treatment.” Brother, it’s time to wake up! In fact, standardized antiviral treatment is the most cost effective treatment. Misconception 6: I had no choice but to turn to the local Chinese medicine physician, who gave me a pulse and prescribed Chinese medicine. I took herbal tonics in the morning and evening, and at noon I took the liver-protecting drug Wutian capsule and liver protection tablets that I had used during my hospitalization in Ninghua County, and after a period of time, my body improved significantly and my liver function returned to normal. But since then, I have never stopped taking the pentosidine capsules and liver-protective tablets. Chinese medicine plus liver protection and enzyme-lowering drugs, people are comfortable, the laboratory tests are cured, but the hepatitis B virus continues to replicate as usual, hepatitis continues to covert activity under the cover of Chinese medicine and liver protection and enzyme-lowering drugs, liver fibrosis gradually accumulates and develops, big brother, I worry that you may already have cirrhosis! Myth #7: “But I still insist on taking these two drugs in small amounts, one capsule per dose 3 times a day for five lipid capsules, and 3 capsules per dose 3 times a day for liver protection tablets. Take them in reduced amounts anyway. In addition, two to three times a year, I usually find the original Chinese medicine practitioner to check my pulse and prescribe Chinese medicine to nourish my body. Once or twice a year, I have my liver function rechecked. I did this because I was too afraid of a relapse. Up to now, my liver function is also normal.” Is the purpose of our treatment for hepatitis B to pursue normal liver function? Are we treating for labs? If the liver function has been normal, and your liver is still developing step by step towards cirrhosis and liver cancer, do you think that kind of normal liver function has any meaning? Misconception 8: But I still very much long for medical technology to develop and progress at a high speed. I hope that one day soon I can really cure hepatitis B and make the major and minor triplets turn negative. Hepatitis B is very difficult to cure completely. At this stage, I should be satisfied to be able to take long-term oral antiviral drugs to control the disease stably and live a long and healthy life! Myth 9: “Some years ago I heard of some new treatments for hepatitis B, such as gene immunotherapy, cellular immunotherapy. It’s fascinating to hear, and it makes people feel that technology brings us new hope. But recently there is no latest news about this” because it is not reliable, so it is eliminated. Myth 10: “I also learned a lot about antiviral drugs, but these drugs are not only expensive, especially the effect is not very ideal, and can not be stopped at will, once the use is equal to let people fall into the bottomless pit. So that’s why I’m afraid to go on antiviral treatment, afraid to take that risk.” The root cause of chronic hepatitis B disease progression is the continuous replication of the hepatitis B virus, and only by maximizing long-term inhibition of hepatitis B virus replication can we truly control liver inflammation, reverse liver fibrosis and even cirrhosis, and minimize the incidence of liver cancer. do you think liver disease experts around the world are wrong? Do you think the world’s hepatologists are wrong? Are the brains of these experts waterlogged? You should wake up and not delay any longer!
