| Response from Dr. McGovern
 I am not aware of data suggesting that fibrotest has been throughly examined for its utility in testing for scarring in the liver in hepatitis B patients - only hepatitis C patients. Your liver function tests vary from normal to minimally abnormal. Should that change, you might be a better candidate for HBV treatment. As this time, you would have a low chance of responding.
