How To Contract Hepatitis B And What You Should Do

9. What To Expect

If an infection of the hepatitis virus is suspected, a doctor will perform blood tests. He will also review medical history to find out about any travel, workplace risks, and lifestyle activity. Blood tests examine antigens and antibodies to see if someone has been infected if he or she has been immunized and if the infection is acute or chronic. They determine if the cause is a result of hepatitis A, hepatitis C, or Epstein-Barr and if the person simultaneously has hepatitis D.
