| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 You don't indicate why the test was obtained. In the absence of other information, this result likely indicates chronic infection with a low to moderate virus level. Treatment could be indicated, but additional blood tests and scans may be in order to determine how much damage the liver has sustained as a result of this infection. | ||||||||
