Question
Can liver disease patients take care of children? Can they transmit the disease to the child?
Answer
Liver disease patients, due to blood, sexual, and mother-to-child transmission, do not require treatment if there are no symptoms, liver function is normal, and the hepatitis B virus quantitative test is normal. However, they need to closely monitor changes in liver function, protect their liver health, avoid taking unnecessary medication, supplement nutrition, and quit smoking and spicy foods. There are many causes of childhood liver disease. If a child is diagnosed with childhood liver disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to allow children to develop picky eating habits and have a balanced diet.
