About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Prospective, Observational, Long-Term Follow-Up Study of Subjects With Chronic Hepatitis B and Low Viremia Who Do Not Receive Antiviral Therapy

This observational long-term follow-up study will evaluate demographic, clinical, histological, biochemical, and virological parameters of patients with chronic hepatitis B and low viremia who do not require antiviral therapy according to current guidelines. Liver stiffness values as detected by FibroScan and ARFI will also be collected if available. All data will be collected at yearly intervals (minimum). Patients included in the study are followed for up to 10 years. The target sample size is <1000.
