Role of antiviral therapy in the natural history of hepatitis B virus-related chronic liver disease [PDF]
, 2015 Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a dynamic state of interactions among HBV, hepatocytes, and the host immune system. Natural history studies of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection have shown an association between active viral replication and adverse

HBV DNA Quantitation Using Real-time PCR
Annals of Laboratory Medicine, 2006 Accurate measurement of the concentration of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in clinical samples is important for the appropriate treatment of patients and evaluation of their therapeutic responses. In addition, the concentration of HBV DNA in the serum of patients with chronic HBV infection has a very broad range.
