Effect of hepatitis B surface antibody in patients with core antibody-positive liver transplantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

ConclusionImmunoprophylaxis may need more consideration for HBsAb-positive patients receiving HBcAb-positive liver grafts. Active vaccination and mono-prophylaxis with NAs could be recommended in HBsAb-negative recipients against DNH. Further studies should examine the higher genetic barrier drugs for preventing DNH, and the association between DNH and HBV DNA-positive liver graft in this patient population.
