vasculitis hepatitis b

Answered by a doctor

I read something about a connection between vasculitis and hepatitis B in my local newspaper. Now, I do suffer from hepatitis B but I have been receiving treatment and the condition is pretty much under control, I would say. Is there a chance that I will go on to develop vasculitis, or not?
