Abstract
Background: Antiviral therapy is an essential treatment for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. Although hypophosphatemia is an important adverse effect of antiviral agents, its clinical significance remains unclear. We investigated the incidence and clinical consequences of hypophosphatemia in a large cohort of CHB patients.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included CHB patients who started antiviral therapy between 2005 and 2015 and continued it for at least 1 year. Patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, concomitant diuretic administration, and end-stage renal disease were excluded. The primary outcome was a change in renal function. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of infection and changes in serum potassium, uric acid, and total carbon dioxide (tCO2).
Results: Among the 4,335 patients, hypophosphatemia developed in 75 (1.7%). During the median 2-year follow-up period, patients with hypophosphatemia showed a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate than those in the control group. The incidence of infection and changes in serum potassium, uric acid, and tCO2 were similar between groups.
Conclusion: Hypophosphatemia was associated with a renal function decline in patients with CHB receiving antiviral therapy.
期刊介绍:
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice (formerly The Korean Journal of Nephrology; ISSN 1975-9460, launched in 1982), the official journal of the Korean Society of Nephrology, is an international, peer-reviewed journal published in English. Its ISO abbreviation is Kidney Res Clin Pract. To provide an efficient venue for dissemination of knowledge and discussion of topics related to basic renal science and clinical practice, the journal offers open access (free submission and free access) and considers articles on all aspects of clinical nephrology and hypertension as well as related molecular genetics, anatomy, pathology, physiology, pharmacology, and immunology. In particular, the journal focuses on translational renal research that helps bridging laboratory discovery with the diagnosis and treatment of human kidney disease. Topics covered include basic science with possible clinical applicability and papers on the pathophysiological basis of disease processes of the kidney. Original researches from areas of intervention nephrology or dialysis access are also welcomed. Major article types considered for publication include original research and reviews on current topics of interest. Accepted manuscripts are granted free online open-access immediately after publication, which permits its users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of its articles to facilitate access to a broad readership. Circulation number of print copies is 1,600.
