HBV‐RNA Co‐amplification May Influence HBV DNA Viral Load Determination

Hepatology Communications, 2020
Despite effective hepatitis B virus (HBV)‐DNA suppression, HBV RNA can circulate in patients receiving nucleoside/nucleotide analogues (NAs). Current assays quantify HBV DNA by either real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which uses DNA polymerase ...

Ubiquitous expression of HBsAg from integrated HBV DNA in patients with low viral load.

Journal of Hepatology, 2021
BACKGROUND & AIMS Loss of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a hallmark of spontaneous and therapy induced resolution of HBV infection, since it generally reflects a profound decrease in viral replication.

Presence of Liver Inflammation in Asian Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B With Normal ALT and Detectable HBV DNA in Absence of Liver Fibrosis

Hepatology Communications, 2021
Liver biopsies are recommended to exclude significant liver inflammation in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) with elevated HBV DNA but without other indications for antiviral treatment.

Signature of chronic hepatitis B virus infection in nails and hair

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is detected in extrahepatic tissues of individuals with HBV infection. Whether nails and hair contain HBV has been unknown.

Hepatitis B virus infection in human immunodeficiency virus infected southern African adults: occult or overt--that is the question. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) share transmission routes and are endemic in sub-Saharan Africa. The objective of the present study was to use the Taormina definition of occult HBV infection, together with stringent ...

Impact of HCV viremia on HBV biomarkers in patients coinfected with HBV and HCV

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Backgrounds: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) biomarkers reflect the status of HBV infection; however, their role in patients with chronic hepatitis B and C (HBV/HCV) coinfection remains unknown.

Alinity m, a Random-Access System, for Hepatitis B Virus DNA Quantification in Plasma and Whole Blood Collected on Dried Blood Spots

mSphere, 2022
The International Liver Association recommends the use of accurate and sensitive molecular methods for determination of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels in plasma or serum of chronic HBsAg carriers. The level of HBV replication represents the strongest

Persistently Elevated HBV Viral-Host Junction DNA in Urine as a Biomarker for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Minimum Residual Disease and Recurrence: A Pilot Study

Diagnostics, 2023
Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-host junction sequences (HBV-JSs) has been detected in the urine of patients with HBV infection. This study evaluated HBV-JSs as a marker of minimum residual disease (MRD) and tumor recurrence after treatment in HBV-hepatocellular

Hepatocyte Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Inhibits Hepatitis B Virus Secretion and Delays Intracellular Hepatitis B Virus Clearance After Entecavir Treatment

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Background: The aim of this study was to explore the effects of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress on hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication and the antiviral effect of entecavir (ETV).Methods: Thapsigargin (TG) and stearic acid (SA) were used to induce ER ...
