Matters needing attention during pregnancy of hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is different from hepatitis A, because it carries hepatitis B virus, and patients who are not ill are the source of infection of hepatitis B, so the incidence of hepatitis B is many times higher than that of hepatitis A, and hepatitis B virus carriers during pregnancy are not uncommon. This article will introduce the precautions of hepatitis B during pregnancy.

Five detection indexes of hepatitis B

At present, the five commonly used detection indexes of hepatitis B are the above two antigens and three antibodies.

Transmission between pregnant women and fetuses

The transmission between pregnant women and their fetuses is mainly caused by the contact between the fetuses and pregnant women's blood, mucus and amniotic fluid.

Active treatment

If there are obvious clinical manifestations, but the antigen, especially E antigen, is positive, patients with abnormal liver function should also be actively treated.

Not suitable for pregnancy

At this time, if you are pregnant, it will aggravate the damage to the liver and aggravate the condition of hepatitis. Therefore, it is not suitable for pregnancy when cirrhosis and liver cancer occur in acute and chronic stages. Once you are pregnant, you should have an induced abortion at an early stage.

Pay attention to monitoring liver injury.

If hepatitis B antigen is found positive in the second and third trimester of pregnancy, we should pay close attention to the changes of liver function, including the changes of transaminase, plasma protein and bilirubin, and also pay attention to the monitoring of liver damage.
