| Abstract | :
Besides antiviral activities against hepatitis B virus (HBV), telbivudine has an extrahepatic pharmaceutical effect: to improve renal function assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). However, the durability of this effect after withdrawal of telbivudine or switching to other antivirals has never been investigated. |
