Father passed away due to liver disease, will the child inherit it?

Patient's question:

The father has been vaccinated but unfortunately passed away. The child is now 22 years old and has undergone multiple examinations with no abnormalities found.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, first of all, hepatitis B is not inherited. It is a contagious disease that is primarily transmitted through blood, sexual contact, and mother-to-child transmission. Therefore, if the patient's father has hepatitis B, the patient does not necessarily get infected. So there is no need to worry too much. Advice: Hello, since you have already been tested and ruled out hepatitis B infection, you do not need to worry about this anymore. Since you have not been infected with hepatitis B, you will not develop hepatitis or cirrhosis due to hepatitis B. I hope my answer helps you. Doctor's inquiry:
