Relationship between hepatitis B DNA Viral load in the liver and it\'s histology in patient with chronic hepatitis B

Background: Serial measurement of  hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels in the liver and its relation with liver damage and serum HBV DNA levels are guide to begin and/or end a treatment course. This study evaluated the relationship between liver hepatitis B DNA viral load with liver histology in patients with chronic hepatitis B (HBV). Methods:  Thirty patients with chronic anti-Hbe positive ...

Can Viral Load Predict Liver Histology in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B?

Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem. Serum HBV DNA measurement is a non-invasive test that predicts the liver disease progression. The aim of this study was to determine the HBV DNA level and look for a relation between the HBV DNA level and liver histology. Methods: This was a cross sectional study on chronic...

Viral hepatitis in children.

One hundred and twenty cases of viral hepatitis were randomised into four equal groups, viz., A, B, C and D. Group A received Liv.52 alone; Group B received prednisone alone; Group C received a combination of Liv.52 and prednisone and Group D received only supportive therapy without either Liv.52 or steroids. Liver biopsies were performed before commencement of therapy and repeated during and a...
