Incidence and Characteristics of HBV Reactivation‐Related Events Following HBsAg Seroclearance: Long‐Term Follow‐up of a Population‐Based Cohort in Japan
Reactivation-related events after HBsAg seroclearance were rare in this population-based cohort. These findings suggest that HBsAg seroclearance may not necessarily indicate complete viral eradication and that careful long-term monitoring may be warranted, particularly in patients with advanced liver disease.
