What Are the Treatment Options for Hepatitis B?
Disease description:
Last week, I went to the hospital for hepatitis B virus testing and discovered that I have hepatitis B. What are the available treatment options for hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B treatment primarily includes antiviral therapy and hepatoprotective therapy. Antiviral therapy is the mainstay of hepatitis B management; patients must strictly adhere to their physician’s instructions when taking antiviral medications. However, a small proportion of patients develop varying degrees of hepatocyte injury and necrosis following hepatitis B virus infection, necessitating additional hepatoprotective therapy.
