Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is effective treatment for many hematologic disease, but performed in a population with a high endemic hepatitis B virus carrier rate, the incidence of liver function impairment and fulminant hepatitis (FH) is expected to be raised.
Forty-three hepatitis B virus carriers received high-dose chemotherapy and BMT, 32 patients received an allogeneic graft, and 11 patients autologous marrow. Acute graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis consisted of methotrexate on day 1, 3, 6, and 11 and cyclosporine for 6 months.
After a median follow-up period of 68 months (range: 1-11.5 years), 26 (81.3%) allogeneic BMT patients developed impaired liver function (LF), 5 progressed to FH on day 93, 169, 170, 180, and 468, respectively, and died after an average of 13.8 days (range: 1-45 days). Whereas only 4 (36.4%) autologous BMT patients developed impaired LF, and none FH. Impaired LF (P=0.026, chi-square), and FH (odds ratio=12.86, P=0.009 for coefficient) were significantly related to an allogeneic marrow graft, and the timing of liver function impairment coincided with cyclosporine withdrawal. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) disappeared from the serum in 4/14 (28.6%) patients receiving a marrow graft from an HbsAg+ donor. HbsAg was not detected in the serum after BMT in 2/11 (18.2%) autologous BMT patients.
Hepatitis B virus carriers receiving a marrow graft from an HbsAg+ donor have a significantly increased risk of FH.
骨髓移植(BMT)是治疗多种血液系统疾病的有效方法,但在乙肝病毒携带者高发人群中进行时,预计肝功能损害和暴发性肝炎(FH)的发生率会升高。
43例乙肝病毒携带者接受了大剂量化疗和BMT,32例患者接受了异基因移植,11例患者接受了自体骨髓移植。急性移植物抗宿主病的预防措施包括在第1、3、6和11天使用甲氨蝶呤以及使用环孢素6个月。
中位随访期为68个月(范围:1 - 11.5年)后,26例(81.3%)异基因BMT患者出现肝功能损害(LF),5例分别在第93、169、170、180和468天进展为FH,并在平均13.8天(范围:1 - 45天)后死亡。而只有4例(36.4%)自体BMT患者出现LF损害,无一例发生FH。LF损害(P = 0.026,卡方检验)和FH(优势比 = 12.86,系数P = 0.009)与异基因骨髓移植显著相关,且肝功能损害的时间与停用环孢素一致。在接受来自乙肝表面抗原(HbsAg)阳性供体骨髓移植的14例患者中,4例(28.6%)血清中的HbsAg消失。在2例(18.2%)自体BMT患者的BMT后血清中未检测到HbsAg。
接受来自HbsAg阳性供体骨髓移植的乙肝病毒携带者发生FH的风险显著增加。
