KASL clinical practice guidelines for management of chronic hepatitis B

Abstract: Background and Aims Clinical practice guidelines for the management of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) were originally published in 2004 by the Korean Association for the Study of the Liver (KASL) in order to provide specific medical information regarding CHB that would facilitate treatment of infected patients. Other than an update on treatment of antiviral resistance in 2014, which is a partial revision, the guidelines for the treatment of CHB have been revised entirely three times in 2007, 2011, and 2015. The Asi… Show more

“…Normal control was defined as a patient aged from 18 to 50 years old who visited Ajou Health Promotion Center for regular health checkups without any medical history and completely normal results. Patients with CHB were defined as having persistence of serum HBsAg for more than six months [9]. Patients with LC were diagnosed based on morphological assessment of imaging study, liver stiffness in elastography, and several blood tests measuring platelet count, albumin level, and international normalized ratio [10].…”

“…This study compared the impact of two NAs currently recommended as first-line therapy for CHB 5,12,13 , ETV and TDF, on the incidence of HCC and death and transplantation. TDF was associated with lower incidence of HCC; however, the impact (HRs) and statistical significance (P values) were blunted when sustained virological suppression was additionally controlled as a potential confounder.…”

“…The use of potent NAs reduced hepatic inflammation, progression of fibrosis, and development of cirrhosis and decompensation that could accompany with viral replication [5][6][7]12,13 . Due to the improvement in acute/ subacute liver-related complications and life expectancy, HCC is now a major health-related problem in CHB patients 14 .…”

“…During the natural course of chronic HBV infection, some patients show the spontaneous loss or clearance of HBsAg ( 3 5 ). The risk of disease progression is very low among chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with spontaneous HBsAg seroclearance ( 6 , 7 ) and is considered a state of functional cure ( 4 ). HBsAg seroclearance also occurs in CHB patients who received or are receiving antiviral therapy (AVT) ( 8 , 9 ).…”
