Dr. Jin Zhongkui
HBV "big three positive" carriers can be managed through general treatment or medication. This condition may result from hepatitis B virus infection or blood-borne transmission, and often leads to symptoms such as reduced appetite, palmar erythema (liver palms), and general fatigue. If symptoms are mild, patients should get adequate rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and maintain a light diet, which can effectively alleviate the condition. For more severe cases, medications such as entecavir or tenofovir alafenamide may be used under a doctor's guidance.
