“…Importantly, a significant proportion of patients who undergo HBeAg seroclearance will continue to demonstrate disease activity leading to progression to cirrhosis and HCC . Similarly, for those who undergo HBeAg seroclearance while on antiviral therapy, a significant proportion will have evidence of virological rebound if the antiviral therapy is discontinued .…”
HBV DNA levels, but not HBsAg levels, after HBeAg seroclearance were associated with subsequent significant viremia and hepatitic flares. Male gender and older age was associated with significant viremia.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
