Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We aimed to investigate factors associated with serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels and its kinetics under lamivudine treatment in chronic hepatitis B patients. METHODS: HBsAg levels were measured with the Architect HBsAg assay (Abbott laboratories, Abbott Park, IL, USA) in genotype B (HBV/B) or C (HBV/C) patients (n=218).
