Longitudinal trends in renal function in chronic hepatitis B patients receiving oral antiviral treatment

Udompap P, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, researchers compared longitudinal trends of renal function among hepatitis B virus (HBV) mono-infected patients receiving entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), and adefovir (ADV) to untreated individuals.
