[Clinical significance of serum HBsAg levels, HBsAg/HBV DNA ratio, and association with liver inflammation activity in HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B].
To study the clinical significance of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels and HBsAg/hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA ratio in relation to liver inflammation in HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB). ⋯ HBsAg titre, HBsAg/HBV DNA ratio and ALT levels can be used as the index for judging the degree of liver inflammation in HBeAg-positive CHB patients.Higher sensitivity and specificity are attained when HBsAg and ALT are used in series or parallel.
