What signs of recovery from hepatitis b?
For people with obvious symptoms of Hepatitis B such as Jaundice, fatigue, loss of appetite etc, an improvement to these conditions may indicate signs of recovery from Hepatitis B. In order to obtain an accurate conclusion on whether an infected person has fully recovered or is recovering from Hepatitis B, it is recommended that the person goes for a liver function test. The results of the test will precisely indicate if the liver still has inflammation. Therefore, by comparing the lab results of the test done on at least 2 separate occasions with a reasonable time interval in between them, the patient can see if he/she is recovering from Hepatitis B.
What is reactive hepatitis b?
There are several tests for hepatitis B which mean different things if positive (reactive).

Hepatitis B is a viral infection. It is a virus. Only one virus causes Hepatitis B. It infects the liver. A vaccine exists to prevent it. It is blood borne. If you are in the same room with someone who has it, you will not catch it. Do not share needles, razors, or anything that could move their body fluids to you. Hepatitis B can be treated. Other liver infections exist. Hepatitis A generally results when an infected person prepares your food. Hepatitis C is blood borne. Anything one person does that gets body fluids from one person into another spreads the virus. Hepatitis D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M also exist. Those liver infections are caused by different pathogens. (I do not have the first idea about any of those diseases. Someone came back from Atlanta and passed on that information.)
