| Hepatitis B is a contagious disease that poses a severe threat to human health, caused by the infection of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). HBV infection is a prevalent worldwide, resulting in significant public health issues. Currently, with the administration of vaccines, and the treatment of antiviral drugs, the infection rate of HBV has been reduced. However, the eradication of HBV remains a major challenge. HBV markers are the primary indicators for diagnosing HBV infection, monitoring the progression of the disease, and evaluating the efficacy of antiviral treatment. Clinically, HBV markers mainly include traditional serological markers, virological markers, and new markers. In recent years, new markers have been developed which can more accurately evaluate the activity of HBV infection and the efficacy of antiviral therapy, and are of great value in monitoring the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. In this paper, the clinical significance and research progress of HBV markers, especially new markers, are reviewed, in order to provide reference for accurate diagnosis, treatment and clinical prognosis of HBV. |
