I have had Budd Chiari for nearly 14 years, I have a shunt and luckily everything has been going fine since then. I have an app every 6 months for an ultrasound scan, then my outpatient app and bloods taken.
I had an appointment yesterday and like normal I was in and out quite quickly as the scan showed as being ok still. My hospital are now introducing an online service and from that I noticed a request for my blood to be checked for - hepatitis b surface antibody and antigen and hepatitis c virus antibody. I'm not sure why, would anyone have an idea? It wasn't mentioned to me during my appointment.
Thank you
