Can acute hepatitis B be cured thoroughly

In most cases, acute hepatitis B can be completely cured, especially adult acute infection. About 90% -95% of patients can clear the virus through their own immune system to achieve clinical cure without sequelae. This cure rate is significantly higher than that of chronic hepatitis B, which is mainly due to the self limiting feature of acute hepatitis B - the immune system will start to respond to attack the virus after the disease develops to a certain extent. Most patients can spontaneously clear the virus within 6 months, the serum hepatitis B surface antigen turns negative, and protective antibodies are produced, and the liver function then returns to normal.

The core of treating acute hepatitis B is early intervention. Patients need to strictly rest in bed to avoid overexertion and reduce the burden on the liver; The diet should be light and easily digestible, with appropriate supplementation of high-quality protein and vitamins. At the same time, it is necessary to quit drinking and avoid high-fat diets. If the virus replication is active or the liver function is severely damaged, doctors may prescribe hepatoprotective and enzyme lowering drugs (such as compound glycyrrhizin tablets) or anti yellowing drugs (such as adenosine methionine succinate enteric coated tablets). Some immunocompromised individuals also need to use antiviral drugs (such as entecavir dispersible tablets). For patients with severe conditions and a tendency towards liver fibrosis, doctors may also add Fuzheng Huayu Capsules to the treatment plan based on the specific situation. This medication has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, nourishing essence, and nourishing the liver. It can improve liver microcirculation, inhibit the process of liver fibrosis, and promote the repair and regeneration of damaged liver cells.

When infants or immunocompromised people are infected with acute hepatitis B, it is more difficult to eliminate the virus due to immature or damaged immune system, and about 25% -50% may become chronic hepatitis B. Therefore, these patients require closer medical monitoring and, if necessary, extended treatment cycles.

Although the cure rate of acute hepatitis B is high, timely and standardized treatment is still the key. Patients should choose a regular hospital for treatment, strictly follow the doctor's advice on medication, and avoid stopping or changing the dosage on their own. After cure, it is also necessary to regularly review the liver function and hepatitis B markers to ensure that the virus is completely cleared and prevent recurrence or chronicity.
