Relation of hepatitis B core antigen expression with histological activity, serum HBeAg, and HBV DNA levels

Abstract

Significant differences found between HBeAg positive and negative patients suggest that HBeAg negative disease is different from HBeAg positive disease, and also point outs that in HBeAg negative disease, patients with nuclear HBcAg expression and increased levels of HBV DNA levels are at a higher risk of developing progressive liver disease.

Relationship of HBeAg Status with ALT DNA Level and Liver Histology in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients
