From Me924 to cajim:

Thanks for taking the time to reply....
My confusion is I received the vacination series back in "2001" for Hep B

I can't understand why my test results show (Hep b Core Ab, Igm = Positive Abnormal) ....Also (AST = 91 / ALT= 71)
That's all the lab tested for????

I will be seeing a specialist this week to beter determine my blood test results.... Man is this stressful...I will let you know what happens.

Please post your info here so that all can try to help each other.

It may not show up year later and yet you will still be protected.  Its uncertain how long it lasts.  If you are in a high risk profession or something you may want a booster.

If your test shows hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) it would mean you are immune to HepB.
