| Core Tip |
Hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection continues to be a major health problem world-wide. Recurrence of HBV following liver transplantation was a major problem in the 1980’s-1990’s, which led most insurers to refuse to cover costs of such transplants. This changed dramatically following the landmark demonstration that high-dose hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) could prevent recurrent infection. Recently, highly effective inhibitors of the HBV polymerase, with high barrier to resistance (entecavir, tenofovir) have become available, and they promise to decrease the need for HBIG and the costs and complexity of preventing recurrent HBV after liver transplantation. |
