Ask a Hepatologist.

Next month, I have a chance to sit down with a physician specialist in hepatitis B virus and liver disease. We are recording an interview in which he has agreed to answer my questions about hepatitis B virus, management and treatment of a chronic infection, and others.

Got a question? Now is your chance to ask a Hepatologist. Email your questions to me at lloyd(a)jaderibbon.net and I will ask them on your behalf and present the answers here on the blog.
