BACKGROUND & AIMS: Measurements of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA might help to identify carriers of inactive HBV. We assessed the performance of repeated measurements of HBsAg over a median time period of 8 years.METHODS: We performed a retrospective study of 292 HBe antigen-negative patients with chronic HBV infection, normal levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), levels of HBV DNA 100 IU/mL had HBV activity in the third year. The combination of HBsAg level
