HBV RNA Profiles in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B Under Different Disease Phases and Antiviral Therapy

Large-scale comprehensive studies on HBV RNA in chronic hepatitis B are lacking. We aimed to study the HBV RNA profile and its correlation with other viral markers in patients with chronic hepatitis B who are treatment-naïve and patients receiving nucleos(t)ide analogues (NA).Biomarkers, including HBV RNA and hepatitis B core-related antigen (HBcrAg), were measured in 388 patients.
