Serum HBsAg and HBeAg levels are associated with liver pathological stages in the immune clearance phase of hepatitis B virus chronic infection
Abstract
The association between hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B 'e' antigen (HBeAg) levels and liver inflammation and fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in the immune clearance (IC) remains elusive. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether HBsAg and HBeAg levels were associated with liver inflammation and fibrosis in CHB patients during the IC phase. Kendall's rank correlation analysis and receiver …
