Comparative StudyAnalysis of intrahepatic total HBV DNA, cccDNA and serum HBsAg level in Chronic Hepatitis B patients with undetectable serum HBV DNA during oral antiviral therapy.
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between intrahepatic cccDNA and serum HBsAg in chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) patients with undetectable serum HBV DNA during antiviral therapy. ⋯ Serum HBsAg can be used to predict intrahepatic cccDNA and HBV DNA level in CHB patients with low serum HBeAg statues, especially in HBeAg negative patients.
