The difference between big triple positive and small triple positive

Hepatitis B is clinically divided into two types: big triple positive and small triple positive. However, many patients feel that the symptoms of these two diseases are very similar, and both are contagious and will affect normal liver function. Therefore, they think that there is actually no difference between the two diseases. This is a misunderstanding. You should know that there is a big difference between big triple positive and small triple positive. So, what are the specific differences between big triple positive and small triple positive?

When it comes to the difference between big triple positive and small triple positive, the first is their harmfulness. The harm of big triple positive is much greater than that of small triple positive. Many patients with small triple positive may not be affected in liver function, but this situation is very rare in patients with big triple positive hepatitis B. The specific differences are:

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) positive: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) positive means that in the hepatitis B two-pair-half test, the surface antigen, e antigen and core antibody are positive, indicating that the patient has a large number of viruses in his body, actively replicates, and is highly contagious. At the same time, the possibility of developing chronic hepatitis B is relatively high.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) positive: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) positive refers to positive surface antigen, e antibody and core antibody in the hepatitis B two-pair-half test. Usually, the small three positives are transformed from the big three positives, which means that the human body has developed a certain degree of immunity against the e antigen, indicating that the patient has a small amount of virus in the body and the infectiousness is weak, but if it persists for a long time, it is prone to cancer.

Generally speaking, the hepatitis B virus in patients with positive hepatitis B virus replication is active, the virus content in the body is high, and the infectiousness is strong; the virus replication of patients with positive hepatitis B virus virus replication is slow, the virus content is low, and the infectiousness is relatively weak. However, these cannot be used as criteria for judging the severity of hepatitis B. If we want to know the severity of the disease, we also need to judge based on the results of HBV-DNA and liver function tests. If the liver function of big triple positive and small triple positive is normal and there are no obvious symptoms, then the patient only needs to pay attention to health care in life and go to the hospital for regular check-ups. He does not need to worry too much. If the DNA of big triple positive and small triple positive is positive, it means that the virus replication is active and it is very likely caused by the mutation of the hepatitis B virus. At this time, the patient must go to a regular hospital for active treatment to avoid the deterioration of the disease.

The above is an introduction to the differences between big triple positive and small triple positive. However, it needs to be explained to you that most of the patients who clinically develop liver cancer and cirrhosis are small triple positive patients. Therefore, regardless of whether they suffer from big triple positive or small triple positive, we hope that patients can actively treat the disease and not have any fluke mentality, so as not to endanger their lives.
