ABSTRACT
In a comparison between 50 Alaska Native persons with chronic hepatitis B who cleared HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) and 50 Alaska Native age-, sex-, and HBV genotype-matched controls, we found differences in changes in HBV DNA and HBV RNA levels over time but no difference in hepatitis B core-related antigen. These findings suggest that serial HBV DNA and HBV RNA may be associated with HBV functional cure defined by HBsAg clearance.
