| Response from Dr. McGovern
 The body can sometimes eliminate HBsAg itself. However, some people have HBsAg persistently along with no detectable virus and normal liver enzymes. We call this an "inactive carrier" state. There is no associated liver disease and the patient does not need treatment because the immune system is keeping the virus in check. | ||||||||
