Hepatitis B

Recently I was diagnosed with Acute Hepatitis B. I was told by my Doctor that I tested positive for Hepatitis B Surface Antigen and negative for antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen. Also my liver enzymes were high. Two weeks later I was told that my liver enzymes had returned too normal. My symptoms of dark urine and yellow eyes have gotten better. Do I still have hepatitis or is my body fighting the disease?

I think you're still infected but the acute phase has subsided & given rise to a chronic stage. There are no Docs here...so pls consult an expert.

Good luck,
Ben
