Dear readers, hello everyone!Today, we will introduce you to 5 tests that must be done when you have a follow-up test for hepatitis B to ensure that your health is monitored and adjusted in a timely manner.
1. Liver function test.
Liver function tests are an important indicator of liver health in people with hepatitis B. By detecting various indicators in the blood, such as aminotransferases, bilirubin, etc., we can understand the patient's liver metabolism and detoxification ability, find abnormal liver function in time, and take advanced measures as soon as possible.
2. Hepatitis B virus DNA testing.
Hepatitis B virus DNA testing can help to understand viral replication in patients and assess the effectiveness of antiviral** and the risk of resistance. By measuring the amount of viral DNA in the blood, it is possible to know if the virus is active and to adjust the protocol.
3. Imaging examination.
Imaging tests such as ultrasonography or CT can detect changes in liver morphology and structure, and detect abnormalities such as liver space-occupying lesions or tumors. For people with hepatitis B who have cirrhosis, regular imaging is particularly important.
4. Blood routine and coagulation test.
Routine blood tests and coagulation tests can understand the patient's immune system and coagulation function and assess the patient's overall health. For people with hepatitis B who have cirrhosis, regular monitoring of blood clotting can help prevent complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding.
5. Liver stiffness test.
Liver stiffness testing is a non-invasive test that can accurately assess the stiffness of the liver, the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer. For hepatitis B patients with cirrhosis, regular liver stiffness testing can help to detect changes in the condition early and develop targeted plans.
These 5 examinations are indispensable for hepatitis B patients to do during the re-examination, which can fully understand the patient's liver health status, detect abnormalities in time and take corresponding measures. Please take responsibility for your own health by having regular check-ups.
