ABSTRACT
As the achivement of a major project during the 12th Five-year Plan Period in China,the technique of anti-HBc quantification has been approved for commercial use and holds promise for wide application in clinical practice.Chinese scholars have explored the clinical significance of anti-HBc in various aspects and found that it has great values in the assessment of natural course of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and the baseline prediction of antiviral therapy.Studies have shown that anti-HBc is significantly positively correlated with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and significantly associated with liver inflammation.In chronic HBV infection patients with a normal ALT level,anti-HBc can be used instead as an indicator,with great significance for the development of therapeutic strategy in such patients.
