Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical significance of A181T mutation alone in HBV reverse transcriptase region of patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Methods HBsAg,HBV DNA and ALT levels were measured in 156 patients with A181T mutant alone and in 236 patients without mutant in HBV reverse transcriptase region.The data were analyzed.
Results No statistical difference was found in HBsAg,HBV DNA and ALT levels between the two groups.
Conclusion A181T mutation alone in HBV reverse transcriptase region of chronic hepatitis B patients has no significant effect on HBsAg,HBV DNA and ALT levels.
