Abstract:
Patients who suffer from HBV-related endstage liver disease are the majority of liver transplantation (LT) recipients,and hence HBV recurrence post-LT is the key for the treatment success.HBIG was no longer solely used in clinical practice because of high cost and unavoidable drug-resistance.Nowadays,the standard prophylaxis regimen is the combination of low-dose HBIG and nucleoside analogues (NAs).Recently,the necessity of HBIG usage has been often questioned,and the novel prophylaxis of HBIG-withdrawn and HBIG-free regimen have been carried out in several transplant centers with encouraging results.In this review,we summarized the application of HBIG in the prophylaxis of HBV recurrence,and then evaluated the prospect of the prophylaxis of HBIG-withdrawn and HBIG-free regimen.
