    The effect of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is\ncontroversial. We examined the prospective association between hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) serology status\nand incident CKD in a large cohort of men and women.\nMethods: Cohort study of 299,913 adults free of CKD at baseline who underwent health screening exams between\nJanuary 2002 and December 2016 in South Korea. Incident CKD was defined as the development of an estimated\nglomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 and/or proteinuria.
