Association between hepatitis B virus markers and liver fibrosis staging in patients with chronic hepatitis B
HBcAb is negatively correlated with HBV-DNA and HBsAg but positively associated with LF staging. All three markers are valuable in assessing LF staging, and their combined use presents the highest diagnostic efficacy. Importantly, a high HBcAb/low HBV-DNA profile markedly increased fibrosis progression risks in CHB-affected individuals.
