The laboratory I usually follow most carefully is HBV DNA. Once it is suppressed, I am less concerned about drug resistance. However, if the virus does not suppress with one drug therapy, then I do become worried about drug resistance. I would discuss this possibility with your physician to discuss which drug might be the next best agent for you - perhaps as an add-on medication.
