More information needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the additional information.

I went through all your reports.
I need some more information before I can give my opinion.

When was Hepatitis B infection diagnosed? As per the documents attached, it was 23.12.2006? Was it diagnosed during that period or before that? I am asking this because I can also see hep B vaccination done before that in 2005.

On December 2006, I went for checkup for lumps. At that time it was detected. On 2005 I got vaccine as a regular vaccine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the additional information.
The lumps are lipomas. They are harmless and they can be removed surgically for cosmetic reasons.

As far as the hepatitis B issue is concerned, you can marry. But discuss about it with the bride. Check her hepatitis B status and if she is negative, she can be vaccinated for protection ( 3 doses in 6 months).

You need to undergo few more tests for deciding treatment for Hepatitis B-
1. Liver function test
2. HBV DNA quantitative test

Every 6 months you need to undergo the following tests -
1. Ultrasound scan of the abdomen
2. Serum alpha feto protein

Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
