Serum HBsAg quantification in treatment-naïve Indian patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Background and Aims There is paucity of Indian data regarding serum HBsAg levels (qHBsAg) in treatment-naive chronic hepatitis B (CHB). This study was done to determine correlation of qHBsAg with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels and its ability to independently categorize subgroups of CHB.
