| Core Tip |
We studied liver transplant (LT) recipients with chronic hepatitis B, who are often given long durations of hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) to prevent hepatitis B recurrence, and found that as little as 6 months of HBIG effectively suppressed hepatitis B DNA and prevented recurrence. Our findings have the potential to reduce cost, side effects, and inconvenience for LT recipients with hepatitis B without compromising patient safety. |
