Specializes in Pediatrics

Hepatitis B: I don't know what symptoms your son has but based on the blood tests, he has active infection of Hepatitis B virus. This virus commonly causes jaundice and stomach problems and most resolve without complication but there is a small chance it will progress to a more serious condition. See help from your doctor.
