Introduction
Generally, "Big Three Positive" refers to a condition where, in the five-item hepatitis B test, the hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B e-antigen, and hepatitis B core antibody all show positive results. Patients should pay attention to maintaining a balanced diet, controlling fat intake, consuming adequate amounts of high-quality protein, increasing intake of vitamins and minerals, and strictly abstaining from alcohol. Regular liver function tests and quantitative hepatitis B virus tests should also be performed routinely.
Generally, "Big Three Positive" refers to a condition where, in the five-item hepatitis B test, the hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B e-antigen, and hepatitis B core antibody are all positive. Patients need to pay attention to balanced nutrition, control fat intake, consume moderate amounts of high-quality protein, increase intake of vitamins and minerals, and strictly abstain from alcohol. Specific recommendations are as follows:
1. Balanced Diet
Patients with the "Big Three Positive" should maintain a balanced diet to ensure sufficient intake of protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, and minerals. A balanced diet helps maintain normal physiological functions and promotes recovery.
2. Control Fat Intake
Patients should avoid excessive consumption of high-fat foods such as fried foods, animal offal, and cream. Excessive fat intake increases the burden on the liver and is not conducive to controlling the condition.
3. Consume Moderate Amounts of High-Quality Protein
Protein is essential for body repair and maintaining normal functions; however, patients should consume it in moderation. It is recommended to choose high-quality protein sources such as fish, chicken, and tofu to supply necessary amino acids while avoiding excessive intake that may burden the liver.
4. Increase Intake of Vitamins and Minerals
Patients should eat more foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. These nutrients are crucial for normal metabolism and immune function, helping to enhance resistance and promote recovery.
5. Strictly Avoid Alcohol
Patients should avoid alcohol consumption entirely. Alcohol causes direct damage to the liver, worsens the condition, and may even lead to serious consequences such as cirrhosis and liver cancer.
Regular monitoring of liver function and hepatitis B viral load is necessary to understand the condition timely, enabling doctors to adjust treatment plans. At the same time, patients should arrange work and rest reasonably to avoid excessive fatigue, which may exacerbate the illness.
