Can drinking salt water pass the hepatitis B physical examination


Healing with hope, guiding with care.
Drinking saline alone does not directly affect the results of a hepatitis B physical examination. Hepatitis B virus detection depends mainly on serological tests and liver function tests, and saline does not directly affect these test results.
Saline does not substantially help hepatitis B virus detection. Hepatitis B virus detection requires serological tests such as hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb), hepatitis B E antigen (HBeAg), hepatitis B E antibody (HBeAb), and hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) to assess infection status and immunity. In addition, liver function tests such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) can reflect liver damage. Saline does not affect the accuracy of these results.
