Abstract |
The goal of anti-viral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B is complete suppression of HBV replication,normalization of serum alanine aminotransferase and prevention of progression of chronic liver disease to liver cirrhosis,hepatocellular carcinoma and death. For the past decade, even though the natural course of HBV infection has been well known and dramatic advances have been made in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B with the use of oral nucleos(t)ide analogue, anti-viral resistance is emerging issue in the treatment for chronic hepatitis B. Herein, I will summarize current treatment strategies to treat the patients and to prevent antiviral resistance. |
