The development of amplification techniques, home-made and commercial has revolutionised the ability to detect the hepatitis B virus both qualitatively and quantitatively. The objectives of this thesis were to describe the clinical implications of quantitative HBV DNA measurements. In chapter 2 we describe the predictive value of quantitative HBV DNA measurements in identifying non-responders to I
