I tested hbsab reactive. isn't that normal? why does my primary care doctor want me to see a gi doctor?

Hep B surface Ab: Hepatitis B surface antibody can be present either due to exposure to the virus in the past or possibly to the vaccine. How to interpret it depends on the results of the rest of the hepatitis B profile and of the liver tests. Your doctor must want a gastroenterologist to interpret those. I would recommend following through with that, if nothing else just for peace of mind. Good luck.
