[Investigation of antinuclear antibodies in chronic hepatitis B patients].

In conclusion, autoimmune manifestations may be detected in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Low level titer of antibodies such as ANA, AMA, ASMA or LKM may be present in such patients. An increased frequency of these autoantibodies may be associated with non-autoimmune conditions such as chronic viral infection even in treatment-naive patients. PMID: 30522427 [PubMed - in process]
