Elgible paients were given 300 mg TDF daily befoe breakfast. Treatment duration was for 4 years. Enrolled patients were seen in out patient ever 12 week basis. Complete blood cell count, ALT, urea, creatinine

and HBV-DNA Rquantitative was done every 12 week basis. HBV-DNA <60 IU/ml was considered complete virological response (VR). Results: Results: We are reporting 36 months treatment results of this cohort. Median age at baseline was 45, 60% were male and 40% were female, 70% were HBeAg negative. Mean HBV-DNA was 6 log IU/ml, mean ALT was 80. Virological response (VR) was 70%, 85% and 90% at 12, 24 and 36 months respectively. There were no significat AT9283 mw side effects especially no abnormal renal function. These patienst are continuing this treatment for another 12 months. Conclusion: Conclusion: TDF shows significant and sustained antiviral activity against HBV. It has a very favorable safety profile.

analogue in the treatment of chronic Hep B patients. we are using this product in our practice for the last 5 years now. We wanted to study the efficacy and safety of this compound in treatment eligible chronic

HBV patients. Methods: Methods: we prospectively enrolled 100 treatment Phosphoglycerate kinase naive patients with chronic HBV. Enrollment period was from january 2008 to june 2008. patients with Hep B surface antigen positive, ALT >80 and HBV-DNA >20, 000 IU/ml were included this study Patients with established diagnosis of cirrhosis were excluded from this study. Elgible paients were given 0.5 mg Entecavir daily befoe breakfast. Treatment duration was for 4 years. Enrolled patients were seen in ou t patient basis at every 12 week.Complete blood cell count, ALT, urea, creatinine and HBV-DNA quantitative was done every 12 week basis.
