Using the Quantitative Determination of HbsAg to Monitor Antiviral Therapy of Chronic HBV-Infection
Journal Title: Гастроентерологія - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 56
Abstract
Currently, the main unresolved issue in monitoring antiviral therapy of chronic HBV-infection is the lack of clear predictors of sustained virologic response to treatment. These predictors would allow early identification of non-responders to the treatment with pegylated interferon and prediction a high probability of preservation of response to the treatment with nucleos(t)id analogs, when the latter is stopped. The way out of this situation can be the use a quantitative assessment of HBsAg, and this review covers this problem.
