ABSTRACT Aim In hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)‐negative recipients with antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti‐HBc)‐positive liver grafts, hepatitis B virus (HBV) can be reactivated under post‐transplant immunosuppression. We recently reported a median intrahepatic covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) level of 238 copies/μg in HBsAg ...

ABSTRACT Objective To quantify the transplacental transfer of aciclovir at an amount equivalent to 2 g of valaciclovir corresponding to the fractionated dosing regimen given four times daily used to reduce congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) transmission and to treat the CMV‐infected fetus. Design Experimental ex vivo study.

Several anti-viral drugs are approved for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, whether quantitative hepatitis B surface antigen (qHBsAg) can predict the therapeutic response during long-term entecavir treatment remains unclear ...

Kidney Transplantation From Donors with Hepatitis B [PDF]
The growing demand for organ donors to supply the increasing number of patients on kidney waiting lists has led most transplant centers to develop protocols that allow safe use of organs from donors with special clinical situations previously regarded as

Limited evidence exists synthesizing the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with the concomitant administration of multiple nephrotoxic drugs, and even less examining the concept of nephrotoxic burden. The objective of this scoping review was to (1) identify definitions of nephrotoxic burden; (2) methods used to quantify (use of calculations)

Entecavir Reduces Hepatocarcinogenesis in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients [PDF]
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) leads to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). With a cohort of 1,206 CHB patients who visited Okayama University Hospital and related hospitals in 2011 and 2012, we compared the incidence rates of HCC among the patients

Hepatitis B Virus RNA Predicts Hepatocellular Carcinoma Despite Viral Suppression
Serum HBV RNA levels at viral suppression predict HCC development in nucleos(t)ide analogue‐treated patients with chronic hepatitis B, outperforming Hepatitis B core‐related antigen alone. ABSTRACT Background Despite achieving undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels with nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy, patients with chronic hepatitis B ...

Persistent risk for new, subsequent new and recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma despite successful anti-hepatitis B virus therapy and tumor ablation: The need for hepatitis B virus cure. [PDF]
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the most significant hepatocarcinogens. The ultimate goal of anti-HBV treatment is to prevent the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
