The Relation between Serum HBV DNA and the Grades of Liver Inflammation in Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Carriers

Objective To study the relationship between the qualification of HBV DNA and the liver inflammation in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)arriers.Methods 244 chronic HBV carriers were examined with Liver biopsy、liver function、HBV-DNA level and serological markers of B-hepatitis.examination.Groups were divided based on the grades of liver inflammation and serum HBV DNA levels.Results All of the 244 cases,48(19.7%)had inflammation stage G≥ 2,No significant differences were observed in the inflammation between HBV DNA high/low groups.Conclusion Most chronic HBV carriers had mild inflammatory histological changes in their livers.the grades of liver inflammation were not correlated with HBV DNA in sera.
