Introduction
An HBsAg level of 6000 IU/mL generally indicates a low likelihood of seroclearance. The higher the hepatitis B surface antigen value, the more active the viral replication and the more severe the liver damage. Typically, patients with HBsAg levels above 1000 IU/mL have a lower chance of viral clearance and require long-term treatment.
A surface antigen level of 6000 IU/mL is generally possible to become negative.
The higher the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) level, the more active the viral replication and the more severe the liver damage. In general, patients with HBsAg levels above 1000 IU/mL have a lower chance of clearing the virus and usually require long-term treatment. However, individual conditions vary, and specific treatment plans should be developed according to a doctor's recommendations.
Currently, treatments for hepatitis B mainly include antiviral therapy and immune modulation therapy. Antiviral therapy effectively suppresses viral replication, reduces liver damage, and improves liver function. Immune modulation therapy enhances the body's immunity and promotes viral clearance.
In summary, a high hepatitis B surface antigen level does not mean it is impossible to achieve seroclearance. Active treatment, following medical advice, regular monitoring of liver function and viral replication, and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits are essential. Avoid unhealthy behaviors such as alcohol consumption and smoking, and refrain from eating spicy or irritating foods to support disease improvement.
