DOIAbstract
Tailored approaches have been attempted to prevent HBV reinfection in HBsAg-positive liver transplant (LT) recipients in order to minimize the use of hepatitis-B-virus (HBV) specific immunoglobulins (HBIg) and nucleoside analogs (NA). We report the results of complete HBV prophylaxis withdrawal after a follow up of at least 6 years in LT recipients with undetectable serum HBV-DNA and intra-hepatic total HBV-DNA and ccc-DNA at LT
