Hepatitis B is a virus that mainly affects the liver. Tiredness, jaundice (yellow skin), and stomach pain are some possible causes. Your fiancée has been treated and it is generally safe to have sex, but it is important to use protection such as condoms to minimize the risk of spreading the virus.

My father has jaundice for 1 month. Bilirubin level 14. Few days ago father was given 5 blood.. But now hemoglobin levels is 6. Why the hemoglobin decreasing? What is the risk?

Male | 73

The decrease in hemoglobin could be due to continued blood loss, reduced red blood cell production, or hemolysis. Low hemoglobin levels can lead to fatigue, weakness, and other health risks. So consult his doctor soon for proper treatment.

Sir I was affected HCV 13 years ago after treatment I was completely cured and my PCR negative. But when ever I go for my medical to abroad they declared me unfit and reject my visa because HCV antibodies are shown in my Blood Elisa . Is there any solution to solve out this problem please guide Can I go for Plasma therapy to remove these antibodies from blood ....?

Male | 29

My suggestion would be to go to a liver specialist and do the necessary tests. Immune memory of HCV infection may persist. Not plasma therapy is advised to eliminate the antibodies to HCV. A hepatologist can refer you to more specialized care or recommend other treatment options.

I did my LFT last Thursday. The albumin, protein, CRP and GGT were slightly elevated. I'm a diabetic. Should I be worried?

Female | 61

Elevated levels in your liver function tests can indicate several factors, including inflammation or liver-related issues, especially in the context of diabetes. Symptoms to watch for include fatigue, yellowing of the skin, or abdominal pain. Various causes, such as medications or dietary habits, can contribute. It's essential to monitor your diabetes closely and consider lifestyle adjustments, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise. However, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a hepatologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized guidance.

Male | 21

A positive test result for the presence of HBsAg at 2.87 or above indicates potential infection with Hepatitis B virus. Symptoms may include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing skin/eyes), and abdominal pain. The disease is spread through contact with infected blood or other body fluids so if you think you may have been at risk it's best to get screened as soon as possible.

I've been dealing with a complex set of symptoms that have persisted and worsened over the years, and I'm hoping to get your advice on how to move forward. Here’s an overview: - I've had flu-like symptoms for 23 years, which now occur 4-5 times a week. - I experience severe breathing issues, with some episodes lasting up to 9 weeks. - I have constant and aggressive eczema on my legs and abdomen, frequent abscess eruptions, and persistent joint pain. - I also struggle with severe intestinal cramps, alternating between diarrhea and constipation, eye and hearing issues, and clubbing of my fingers. - Additionally, I have a known Hepatitis B infection. Despite being regularly prescribed antibiotics, which only provide temporary relief, my symptoms continue to get worse. These issues are severely affecting my daily life.

Male | 25

Your symptoms suggest a complex and multi-system health issue that requires thorough evaluation. The combination of respiratory problems, skin conditions, gastrointestinal symptoms, and chronic hepatitis B infection indicates that you might be dealing with an underlying autoimmune or systemic condition. Consult with a rheumatologist for a comprehensive assessment, as they specialize in autoimmune and systemic inflammatory disorders. Additionally, a hepatologist for your Hepatitis B management and a dermatologist for your skin conditions would be essential to get a holistic treatment plan.
