慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)长期管理涉及筛查、诊断、疾病分期、抗病毒治疗监测、停药与复发风险评估以及肝硬化和肝细胞癌监测等多个环节。实验室标志物是CHB临床评估和决策的核心依据。随着乙型肝炎病毒基础研究和检测技术的发展,CHB实验室标志物已由传统血清学和病毒学指标,逐步扩展至反映病毒转录活性、抗原表达特征及病毒储存库状态的新型指标。在提高CHB诊断率和治疗率仍是基本目标的同时,功能性治愈作为重要治疗目标,也进一步提升了对残余病毒活性评估、停药风险分层及长期随访检测策略的需求。本文结合国内外指南及近年来研究进展,综述CHB经典和新型实验室标志物的循证依据与临床应用特点,并讨论触发检测和检验项目利用管理在CHB临床路径优化中的作用。总体而言,CHB实验室检测的优化不在于单纯增加项目,而在于围绕具体临床问题合理整合不同层次标志物,以提高诊疗效率、减少不必要检测,并更好地服务于CHB分层管理、长期随访及功能性治愈评估。

The long-term management of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) involves multiple steps, including screening, diagnosis, disease staging, monitoring of antiviral therapy, assessment of treatment discontinuation and risk of relapse, and surveillance for cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Laboratory biomarkers are central to clinical evaluation and decision-making in CHB. With advances in hepatitis B virus (HBV) research and diagnostic technologies, laboratory biomarkers for CHB have evolved from conventional serologic and virologic markers to newer markers that reflect viral transcriptional activity, antigen expression characteristics, and the status of the viral reservoir. While improving diagnosis and treatment rates remains a fundamental goal in CHB care, the recognition of functional cure as an important therapeutic endpoint has further increased the need for biomarkers that can assess residual viral activity, stratify relapse risk after treatment withdrawal, and guide long-term follow-up strategies. In this review, we summarize the evidence base and clinical application characteristics of conventional and novel laboratory biomarkers in CHB, and further discuss the roles of reflex testing and laboratory test utilization management in optimizing clinical pathways for CHB. Overall, the optimization of laboratory testing in CHB should not depend on simply increasing the number of assays, but rather on the rational integration of biomarkers according to specific clinical questions, so as to improve diagnostic and management efficiency, reduce unnecessary testing, and better support stratified management, long-term follow-up, and the assessment of functional cure.
