 If these tests remain the same over six months of follow-up, you probably have chronic infection. You will need a HBV DNA level to see if there is any virus in your blood plus liver function tests to see if there is evidence of irritation in the liver. Some patients require a liver biopsy too but it is too early to comment on this for you. You should also be checked for Hepatitis A and C. | ||||||||
