3. Figure 2
Proposed algorithm for the management of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and kidney diseases. *Newer NA is entecavir, tenofovir, and telbivudine. Among the newer NAs, entecavir may be preferred for most NA-naive patients because of its high potency, high genetic barrier to resistance, and favorable renal safety profile; tenofovir may be preferred in cases with prior lamivudine or telbivudine resistance due to the low efficacy of entecavir in this setting; telbivudine warrants further evaluation because of its potentially beneficial effect on renal function. **Lamivudine is only applicable in cases of short treatment duration. HBIG, hepatitis B immunoglobulin; HBsAg, hepatitis B surface antigen; NA, nucleos(t)ide analog; RT, renal transplantation.
