Summary
Hepatitis B can cause liver failure and cancer and affects between 90,000 and 160,000 people in Australia. Effective treatments are available but these cannot eradicate the virus. We will study the natural history to try and identify reasons why some people develop severe liver disease and others do not and why some patients respond to treatment and others do not. We will also look at of the best ways to monitor patients with blood tests whether they are receiving treatment or not.
