hepatitis B management guidelines

Hepatitis B management involves testing to determine if the infection is new or chronic, and assessing liver health through blood tests and liver scans. If the virus is active and causing liver damage, antiviral medications may be prescribed to reduce virus levels and prevent complications. Regular monitoring is essential, even if you feel well. For some, especially with mild or inactive infection, treatment may not be necessary, but periodic check-ups are important. Vaccination can protect those at risk who aren’t already infected. Managing hepatitis B aims to control the virus, prevent liver damage, and reduce the risk of liver cancer.
