Brief Answer:
The full blood tests reports are required...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

1. You are saying that you have a core result of hepatitis B. Can you please provide the full report of blood testing you did? So, I can evaluate the changes myself?

2. You are also reporting to have bruising in your arm. There might be several factors causing it including:
- chronic hepatitis B; however, I need to have the full blood reports first
- rheumatological diseases: to be checked through blood tests - CRP, fibrinogen and antistreptolyzin tests
- blood disorders to be checked through complete blood count, hemorrhage/coagulation time; PT and INR; and thrombocyte count

Looking forward to have the requested blood tests reports in!
