Abstract
Reactivation rate of resolved hepatitis B is not negligible in patients without anti-HBs antibodies at transplantation. We suggest monitoring of liver tests and HBV serology including HBsAg and anti-HBs antibodies after transplantation as well as vaccination pre- and post-transplantation in all patients, including those with resolved hepatitis B, aiming at maintaining anti-HBs antibody level above 100Â IU/L.
