Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Loss and Improved Clinical Outcomes in US Individuals With Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss is associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection based on studies predominantly in Asian populations. We assessed real‐world associations between HBsAg loss and long‐term clinical outcomes in a diverse US population with chronic HBV infection. This

Correlation between the HBsAg level and the peripheral blood lymphocytes profile in chronic hepatitis B patients from Malaysia [PDF]
Background: In recent times, the hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) level, a cheaper marker compared to the molecular method, has been used not only for indicating active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, but also for predicting the clinical and ...
