Abstract: Objective  To discuss the correlation of chronic hepatitis B patients between liver inflammation and serum HBeAg quantification. Methods  All 296 HBeAgpositive CHB patients received liver biopsy  under ultrasound guidance,  the scoring was based on viral hepatitis inflammatory activity standard (grade, G),  and serum HBeAg quantification were quantified after serum was isolated on the same day. The three subgroups were divided according to the serum HBeAg quantification. Results  Along with the progress of liver inflammation from G1 to G2,  G3/G4,  serum HBeAg level gradually decreased, the serum HBeAg quantification had negative correlation with liver inflammation (r=-0.513, P<0.01). Conclusion  HBeAg quantification may become a noninvasive diagnostic marker of liver inflammation degree in CHB patients.
