Dr. Jiang Weimin
The treatment duration for hepatitis B is generally 6 months to 1 year, but may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the presence of drug resistance. Hepatitis B is an infectious disease, also known as hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, an acute illness caused by the hepatitis B virus. The treatment duration for hepatitis B depends on the severity of the disease and the patient's overall health status. The hepatitis B virus can establish chronic infection in the body. The primary goal of treating hepatitis B is to control viral replication, prevent viral accumulation, and thereby effectively manage the disease.
