Dear Doctor,
My wife is Hep. B carrier since birth. Recently she attended a liver specialist who examined her and looked at her preliminary test results. Those showed that all liver function test including ALT were within normal. The doctor then directed her to do the HBeAg, alphafetoprotein and HBV-DNA tests which she did and now she is waiting for results which she will get when she sees the doctor again (November). During the cunsultation we asked the doctor whether it was ok to take oral contraceptive "the pill" which contains estrogen and he said "no problem, she can take it". But on the warnings on the directions for pills, it says that people with significant liver damage should not take it.
Can you please throw some light on this issue?
Thank you
Alex
