| Response from Dr. McGovern
 Your normal liver function tests are very reassuring. The most reassuring test would be the HBV DNA test - that you have not had. If there was no virus, then you may only be an "inactive" carrier and then we would be less concerned about liver disease. Perhaps you do not have chronic infection and only had past hepatitis B that cleared by itself. You will need to discuss this with your doctor. | ||||||||
