Hello Mr RNK, How are you? My name is Chat Doctor.  I am a Liver transplant surgeon and I hope to answer your question today. I am so sorry to hear about your sons' diagnosis. Hepatitis B infection occurs either by exchange of body fluids or from mother to child during birth. But not all patients infected with hepatitis B need treatment. 80-90% of patients infected with hepatitis B, spontaneously clear the virus themselves and do not need any treatment. Around 8% of patients have the virus continuously without suffering from any ill effects of the virus (carriers). 1% of the patients unfortunately develop chronic effects of the virus which affects the liver and damages the liver. These patients will end up needing treatment. The liver damage will be evident by blood tests. Also, the stage of infection can also know by blood tests (Head, Anti He Ag, Core antigen, Viral Load etc.). I am sure your doctors are doing all the appropriate tests. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details. rxsuresh@gmail.comHope this helps and hope you start to feel better. Have a great DAT
