| Response from Dr. McGovern
 It appears that you have had past hepatitis B infection since your core and surface antibodies are positive. HOwever, you appear to have cleared your infection. I am uncertain why your liver function tests are positive. I would ask your doctor to check for hepatitis C and other causes of liver disease. | ||||||||
