dc.description.abstractObjectives: Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is a controversial marker for disease monitoring in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. The aim of this study was to determine the fibrosis stage and histological activity index (HAI) in HBeAg-negative CHB patients with persistently normal ALT (PNALT) and high serum HBV DNA (>= 2000 IU/ml) and to investigate clinical risk factors for the requirement of treatment through the examination of liver biopsy specimens.
