What diseases can be transmitted by hepatitis B? ——Comprehensive analysis of the spread of hepatitis B virus and related diseases
Hepatitis B (hepatitis B) is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and is highly contagious. In recent years, discussions about the spread of hepatitis B and its associated complications have become a hot topic. This article will combine the popular content on the Internet in the past 10 days to analyze the infection routes, related diseases and preventive measures of hepatitis B in the form of structured data.
1. Transmission routes of hepatitis B virus

| Transmission route | Specific methods | risk level |
|---|---|---|
| Bloodborne | Blood transfusion, shared syringes, and incomplete disinfection of medical equipment | high risk |
| mother-to-child transmission | Contact with maternal blood or body fluids during delivery | high risk |
| Sexual contact transmission | unprotected sex | medium to high risk |
| daily contact | Sharing razors, toothbrushes, etc. | low risk |
2. Related diseases that may be caused by hepatitis B
Hepatitis B virus not only directly damages the liver, but may also cause a variety of complications. The following are common diseases associated with hepatitis B patients:
| disease type | Link to hepatitis B | Incidence (among hepatitis B patients) |
|---|---|---|
| Cirrhosis | Long-term inflammation leads to liver fibrosis | About 20%-30% |
| liver cancer | Viral DNA integration induces cell carcinogenesis | About 5%-10% |
| liver failure | Acute or chronic hepatic decompensation | About 1%-2% |
| Nephritis | Immune complex deposition leads to kidney damage | About 3%-5% |
| diabetes | Induced by abnormal liver metabolic function | About 10%-15% |
3. Recent hot topics of discussion
According to data analysis across the entire network, the main discussions on hepatitis B contagion in the past 10 days have focused on the following aspects:
1.Interaction between hepatitis B and COVID-19 vaccines: Multiple studies have shown that the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective for hepatitis B patients and will not worsen liver disease.
2.Application of new detection technology: Highly sensitive HBV DNA detection technology can detect the active status of the virus early and reduce the risk of infection.
3.Increased success rate of mother-to-child interruption: Through combined immunization (vaccine + immune globulin), the mother-to-child transmission blocking rate can reach more than 95%.
4. Key measures to prevent hepatitis B infection
| Precautions | Specific content | effectiveness |
|---|---|---|
| Vaccination | Complete 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine | More than 90% |
| Regular screening | HBV serological testing | Early detection rate 85% |
| safe behavior | Use condoms and do not share personal items | Reduce risk by 70% |
| Standard treatment | Antiviral drugs (such as entecavir) | Virus suppression rate 95% |
5. Clarification of common misunderstandings
1.Myth: Hepatitis B can be transmitted through sharing meals- Fact: Hepatitis B is not transmitted through the digestive tract and is not contagious by sharing tableware.
2.Myth: Hepatitis B patients cannot breastfeed- Fact: Vaccinated newborns can breastfeed normally.
3.Myth: All hepatitis B patients will develop liver cancer- Fact: Standard treatment can significantly reduce the risk of liver cancer.
Conclusion:Although hepatitis B is contagious, it can be effectively controlled through scientific prevention and treatment methods. Understand the transmission routes and related diseases, and take correct protective measures to protect yourself and others. It is recommended that high-risk groups undergo five hepatitis B tests regularly for early detection and early treatment.
