Q. My husband was diagnosed with hepatitis B. How to proceed further?
Hi doctor,
My husband was diagnosed with hepatitis B. What will I do now?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- When someone has hepatitis B, first we need to know about the status of liver and then we can plan for the treatment.
- Do anti-HBc IgM, HBeAg, Anti-HBe, HBV DANA quantification, LFT (liver function test), CBC (complete blood count) and AFP (alpha-fetoprotein), ultrasound upper abdomen and urine routine and microscopic examination.
- Screening for family members also indicated. For family members, do HBsAg and Anti-HBc total. Review back with reports.
