Low serum hyaluronic acid levels associated with spontaneous HBsAg clearance
2015
Purpose
The pathophysiological underlying mechanism of spontaneous HBsAg clearance in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected patients is largely unknown. However, serum hyaluronic acid (sHA) plays a role in liver fibrosis progression and reversely could serve as a potential biomarker for HBsAg clearance. This study investigates whether low sHA is associated with HBsAg loss in non-Asian HBV patients.
