| Response from Dr. McGovern
 It appears that your Hepatitis B surface antigen is reactive, which means you have chronic hepatitis B infection. I cannot tell if you have active or inactive disease however. You need to go back to your doctor for further evaluation and testing for hepatitis B DNA. Your liver function tests are normal and this is reassuring. Your hepatitis C test does not indicate prior exposure. | ||||||||
