This report describes seroconversion of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in a patient with marked iron overload caused by chronic hepatitis B (CHB) after receiving iron chelation therapy and discusses the role of iron chelation therapy in CHB.
Increased serum ferritin level for 2 months.
Secondary iron overload and CHB.
To relieve iron load of the body, the patient underwent regular phlebotomy therapy and deferoxamine (DFO) therapy. During the therapy, serum ferritin and hepatitis B virus (HBV) were monitored and the iron concentration of the liver and heart were followed by T2* of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
Serum ferritin gradually decreased. Approximately 1 year after the therapy, HBsAg turned persistently negative.
Iron chelation therapy may attenuate HBV infection.
本报告描述了一名慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)导致明显铁过载的患者在接受铁螯合治疗后乙肝表面抗原(HBsAg)血清学转换情况,并讨论了铁螯合治疗在CHB中的作用。
血清铁蛋白水平升高2个月。
继发性铁过载和CHB。
为减轻身体铁负荷,患者接受了定期放血疗法和去铁胺(DFO)治疗。治疗期间,监测血清铁蛋白和乙型肝炎病毒(HBV),并通过磁共振成像(MRI)扫描的T2*追踪肝脏和心脏的铁浓度。
血清铁蛋白逐渐下降。治疗约1年后,HBsAg持续转阴。
铁螯合治疗可能减轻HBV感染。
