BACKGROUND/AIM: In this study, the efficiency of using low-dose hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) plus antiviral treatment according to individual needs has been evaluated in posttransplant hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients.
We retrospectively evaluated 179 patients who were admitted between 2009 and 2014. Five thousand IU intravenous HBIG was given in the anhepatic phase, and 400 IU/day intramuscular (IM) HBIG was given in the posttransplant period. After HBsAg seroconversion, 400 IU IM HBIG was continued as prophylaxis every two weeks.
The average follow-up period was 26 (2–65) months. Seventy patients had hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The HBV recurrence was 4.5% in the first year, and 5.8% in the third year. The HBsAg became negative in 11 (2–63) days, and anti-HBs became positive in 9 (1–31) days. HBsAg positivity occurred in 6 patients during the follow-up period. Five of these patients were those who underwent transplantation due to HCC. In 5 of the HCC patients, in whom HBsAg became positive, tumor recurrence was observed after 0.3–9.9 months. HBsAg positivity was more frequently detected in patients with HCC (P = 0.009).
The HBV recurrence should be evaluated as a predictor of the HCC recurrence in patients who were transplanted due to HCC.
背景/目的:在这项研究中,评估了根据个体需求使用低剂量乙型肝炎免疫球蛋白(HBIG)联合抗病毒治疗在移植后乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)患者中的效果。
我们回顾性评估了 2009 年至 2014 年间收治的 179 名患者。在无肝期给予 5000IU 静脉内 HBIG,移植后给予 400IU/天肌内(IM)HBIG。HBsAg 血清转换后,每两周继续给予 400IU IM HBIG 进行预防。
平均随访时间为 26(2-65)个月。70 名患者患有肝细胞癌(HCC)。HBV 复发率在第 1 年为 4.5%,第 3 年为 5.8%。HBsAg 在 11(2-63)天内转为阴性,抗-HBs 在 9(1-31)天内转为阳性。在随访期间,有 6 名患者 HBsAg 阳性。这 5 名患者因 HCC 接受了移植。在 5 例 HCC 患者中,HBsAg 转为阳性后,肿瘤在 0.3-9.9 个月后复发。HBsAg 阳性在 HCC 患者中更为常见(P=0.009)。
HBV 复发应作为 HCC 复发的预测因子,评估因 HCC 而接受移植的患者。
