Asymptomatic hepatitis B carriers in China?

summary

Hepatitis B virus carriers can develop into chronic hepatitis after several years of asymptomatic carrying state, and the necrosis, degeneration and fibrosis of liver cells can be seen. Some hepatitis B virus carriers have been transformed into chronic hepatitis, but there are still no symptoms, even liver function tests can not find the problem. Asymptomatic hepatitis B carriers in China? Let's talk about it.

Asymptomatic hepatitis B carriers in China?

One, natural turn negative, partial second liver virus carrier can appear virus turn negative phenomenon naturally, annual average turn negative rate is 1-2%; But whether it can turn negative is related to some factors. (1) the negative rate of HBsAg in adults over 15 years old was higher than that in children aged 1-14 years old. (2) the negative rate of HBsAg in low titer group (≤ 1:128) was higher than that in high titer group (> 1:256). (3) the negative rate of HBsAg in HBeAg negative group was higher than that in HBeAg positive group

2、 Hepatitis B virus carriers will continue to carry asymptomatic state, continue to carry HBsAg for several years or even life, after repeated tests, liver function is normal, liver biopsy without histological damage. Most of them have a good prognosis.

3、 Hepatitis B virus carriers will be chronic and malignant. Some patients can develop into chronic hepatitis after a few years of continuous asymptomatic carrying state, which is characterized by elevated transaminase. Liver histology can see necrosis, degeneration and fibrosis of liver cells. Some patients have been transformed into chronic hepatitis, but there are still no symptoms, and even liver function test can not find the problem. At this time, liver biopsy becomes an important basis for the evolution of chronic hepatitis. Therefore, in order to make a definite diagnosis, liver biopsy must be done. If it is confirmed that the liver has pathological damage, it should be treated in time.

matters needing attention

Generally speaking, the outcome of hepatitis B patients is the above three aspects, as for each individual patient is out of or towards which direction, is determined by the development of their own disease.
