Popis: Treatment of HBV infection with nucleic acid polymers and pegIFN is accompanied by transaminase elevations in 95% of participants. HBV viral rebound, partial cure (HBV DNA 2000 IU/mL, normal ALT) or functional cure (HBV DNA target not detected, HBsAgLLOQ, normal ALT) occurred in 27%, 38% and 35% of participants. Correlations between ALT, AST and GGT elevations, virologic baseline, response during therapy and HBV therapeutic outcome were investigated. A retrospective analysis of all 40 participants in the REP 401 study (NCT02565719) included maxima and area under the curve for ALT, AST and GGT, baseline virology, HBsAg and anti-HBs response and HBV therapeutic outcomes. ALT, AST and GGT elevations were asymptomatic, independent of baseline virologic status and anti-HBs response but correlated with HBsAg reduction ≥3 log
