Abstract
HBV DNA load does not reflect histologic activity in patients with HBV-related decompensated cirrhosis. Although patients with decompensated cirrhosis might have normal levels of alanine aminotransferase and a low level of viremia (<2000 copies/mL), they still can have significant portoperiportal activity.
