Abstract

Approximately one-fifth of the NA-treated CHB patients with advanced liver fibrosis and compensated cirrhosis experienced progression of liver fibrosis after PEG-IFN α-2a treatment. The GPR at 24 weeks of treatment was an independent predictive factor for the progression of liver fibrosis in this population.
