Posted on Wed, 3 Dec 2014
Question: Hello Doctor,

I was detected with Hepatitis A during the week ended 13-Sept-14 with Bilirubin shooting upto 8.1 and SGPT about 2239. I was given medicines. Now my bilirubin is 0.61 and SGPT 60.

What further tests I need to do to confirm that I have fully recovered from Hepatitis A?

Can I resume physical contact with my partner.

Brief Answer:
Nothing required.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
You are in recovering phase of Acute Viral Hepatitis A.
You don't need any tests further. If you are out from Acute state once, this is a self limiting disease.
Your liver enzymes would get back to Normal in a few weeks.
No tests are require at all.
As far as resuming physical relationship is concerned, you can resume that. But I would advise you to use condoms. However this virus is not known to spread by sexual route, still few case reports are there. So,using condoms is a good idea.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
