Hepatitis B ultrasound has nodules, can medication stop further deterioration?

Hepatitis B ultrasound findings of nodules are first evaluated to determine the nature of the nodules before deciding whether medication is needed. When patients with hepatitis B undergo ultrasonography and find nodular changes in the liver, it is considered that there may be cirrhosis of the liver. Ultrasound finding of nodules cannot confirm the nature of the nodules, and CT or enhanced CT of the liver can be performed to determine whether there are fibrosis, hemangiomas, cysts and other problems in the liver. If cirrhosis exists, the cause of the disease needs to be clarified, and oral antiviral drugs should be taken to treat the disease if it is caused by hepatitis virus. You can choose entecavir, lamivudine and other drugs, and need to take long-term oral treatment, pay attention to observe whether the liver nodules have shrunk. If there is hepatic hemangioma or hepatic cyst, it is recommended to test the ultrasound of the liver every 6~12 months to determine the growth rate and size of the nodules or cysts, and of course, it is also necessary to be alert to the presence of malignant tumors of the liver. Hepatitis B patients who find liver nodules are recommended to consult the gastroenterology department or the infection department of regular hospitals.
