After 144 weeks TDF switching to TAF, mean ALT and AST were reduced to 19.7 and 21, respectively. From baseline to switching week 144, the rates of ALT and AST < 35 (male)/25 (female) and < 30 (male)/19 (female) were persistently increased; hepatic fibrosis was also improved by APRI < 0.5, from 79.2% to 96.2%; FIB-4 < 1.45, from 52.8% to 58.5%, respectively; mean APRI was reduced to 0.27; FIB-4, to 1.38; and mean SWE reading, from 7.05 to 6.30 kPa after a mean of 109 weeks switching. The renal function was stable and the frequency of patients with glomerular filtration rate > 60 mL/min was increased from 86.5% at baseline to 88.2% at switching week 144.\u0000 CONCLUSION\u0000 Our data confirmed that switching from TDF to TAF for 3 years results in not only persistent ALT/AST improvement, but also hepatic fibrosis improvement by APRI, FIB-4 scores, as well as SWE reading, the important clinical benefits of long-term hepatitis B virus antiviral treatment with TAF.","PeriodicalId":23687,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Hepatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141798287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
