End-of-treatment HBsAg 40 IU/mL an optimal cutoff value for predicting HBV relapse
An end-of-treatment (EOT) HBsAg level 40 IU/mL appears to be a useful cutoff value for predicting hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection relapse following cessation of either entecavir or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) treatment, as shown in a study. Specifically, low levels of EOT HBsAg and baseline HBV DNA or HBcrAg translate to reduced odds of having relapse.
