  Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a viral infection that affects the liver causing acute as well as chronic disease worldwide. Poor diagnosis and prognostic factors remain one of crucial factors responsible for poor management of the disease despite progress in implementing vaccination programmes and development of new treatment perspectives in the management of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections which still remain a major health problem worldwide, contributing considerably to cirrhosis- and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-related mortality of 0.5–1 million per year. Thus, this study was aimed at evaluating HBV infection treatment outcome using viral load and changes in haemostatic variables such as activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, fibrinogen and D-dimer of HBV positive treatment naïve, on treatment at 3 months and treatment at 6 months subjects at..
