Hello, I am new to this forum. My husband had some blood work done last week and had to go in yesterday for results. They told him he had hepatitis. But after talking with the specialist he explained that he has to have another blood test done to see if he really has it or if it has left his body. What does this mean? I know nothing about this disease and of course we have questions now. I guess my husband knew back in the 70's that he had it but was under the understanding that it was no longer present. Now he's worried about this. He doesn't do well with doctors. I guess if it's still present then they are going to do a liver biopsy. How do they do this procedure? Do you stay overnight in the hospital? I anyone can give me some information on this I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.
