ABSTRACT
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes liver injury by stimulating host immune response and may lead to liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Progression of liver fibrosis is a key factor in liver disease-related death. This article summarizes the association of HBV genotype, HBV gene mutation in basic core promoter region/pre-C region, pre-S region, and X region, HBV gene splicing, HBV RNA, HBcAg, and HBsAg with the progression of liver fibrosis. It is pointed out that the above biological characteristics of HBV are closely associated with the progression of liver fibrosis.
