 You need to see your physician. Your hepatitis B surface antigen test is reactive. You need to have a hep B core IgM and IgG test run to see if you have acute hepatitis B or chronic hepatitis B. In addition, your hepatitis A IgM is reactive; this would suggest acute hepatitis A. On occasion, the IgM is reactive if you recently had a hepatitis A vaccine. Call your physician tomorrow for further follow-up of your liver function tests to see what direction they are going in. You may also wan t to have testing of your prothrombin time. If you are having trouble with nausea and vomiting, I would go to see your physician for further evaluation. | ||||||||
