Regression of liver fibrosis after HBsAg loss: A prospective matched case–control evaluation using transient elastography and serum enhanced liver fibrosis test
Fibrosis regression occurred in a minority of subjects achieving HBsAg-loss, which was not significantly different compared with subjects with persistent overt CHB. Subjects after achieving HBsAg-loss, especially among those with ageSC > 50, should receive ongoing surveillance for liver-related complications.
