"Hepatitis B" ed. by Luis Rodrigo

This book reviews the mechanisms and pathogenesis of hepatitis B virus (HBV), as well as discusses current and potential future treatments.

Current pharmacologic therapies for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection allow viral suppression and normalization of the liver enzyme alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and prevent liver disease from progressing. The currently available antiviral therapies very rarely lead to a functional cure. Thus, the future of a cure for HBV lies in triple combination therapies with concerted action on replication inhibition, antigen reduction, and immune stimulation.
