HBV Treatment in Turkey: The Value of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Quantification of Chronic Hepatitis B Patients in the Long-term Follow-up—A Single-center Study
نویسنده
چکیده
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seems to have significant clinical implications to assess the prognosis of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We assessed HBsAg levels serially in patients with CHB in a single center in Turkey. How to cite this article: Ozkan H.
