Voorspellers van respons op behandeling in chronische hepatitis B
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a major cause of liver disease worldwide despite the availability of effective vaccination. There are still more than 350 million people chronically infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV)1 and progression of HBV-related liver inflammation to cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is estimated to result in up to 1.2 million deaths annually.
