Chronic hepatitis B

        According to statistics, acute hepatitis B to chronic hepatitis B cases abroad about 5% - 10%; domestic is 30.2% - 18.7 or even higher. The occurrence of acute chronic hepatitis B not only genetic and racial factors, there are the following reasons:

        (1) patients without jaundice acute hepatitis B: 65% because of insidious onset infection without disease, or subclinical symptoms short, only mild and transient fatigue and loss of appetite, most infected people do not mind, so we do not rest and treatment timely, easy to become chronic hepatitis B.

        (2) the immune function is low person: such as kidney transplantation, cancer, leukemia, AIDS and hemodialysis patients, once infected with hepatitis B virus, easily transformed into chronic hepatitis. Hepatitis B patients in the acute phase of the use of adrenal cortical hormone and other immunosuppressive agents, often due to the immune mechanism in the body balance disorders, and so that the acute to chronic.

        (3) with a history of hepatitis or other liver disease, or disease and the incidence of hepatitis B virus infection: these people again, prone to chronic hepatitis and poor prognosis, or the original alcoholic cirrhosis or complicated with schistosomiasis, clonorchiasis, malaria, tuberculosis, ulcer and diabetes.
