Hi,
HAV is usually a self limited disease. However, for HBV infection, proper management and follow up is required. HBsAg can not be completely eradicated in a patient suffering from HepB.
However, complications maybe prevented if proper medication is taken and proper diet plan is followed. Treatment is advised IF high values of liver enzymes AND high viral Load on a PCR.
If HBV DNA count in PCR are not high, further advise:
- abstinence from "Alcohol"
- LOW fat diet should be followed, avoid junk food and beverages
- decreased oil consumption (oily food)
- NO red meat
- green vegetables should be ingested daily
- use lemon juice (lemonade) once in a day
- reduce weight if overweight/obese
Liver enzymes should be monitored regularly while HepB markers maybe checked every 6 to 12 months.
Hope I answered your concern. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wish you good sound health.
Regards,
Dr. Tayyab Malik
