Optimal timing of hepatitis B virus DNA quantification and clinical predictors for higher viral load during pregnancy

Introduction Authorities publish recommendations on the hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load threshold to initiate antiviral treatment but the timing of quantification during pregnancy is not well defined. HBV DNA levels in pregnancy women at 28‐30 weeks predict the risk of immunoprophylaxis failure....

Zusammenfassung:Introduction Authorities publish recommendations on the hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load threshold to initiate antiviral treatment but the timing of quantification during pregnancy is not well defined. HBV DNA levels in pregnancy women at 28‐30 weeks predict the risk of immunoprophylaxis failure. This study compared and evaluated the correlation between HBV DNA levels before 22 and 28‐30 weeks’ gestation. Clinical predictive factors for HBV DNA >6, 7 and 8 log10 IU/mL were studied. Material and methods A retrospective analysis of HBV DNA levels of women
