Effect of Entecavir, Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate, and Tenofovir Alafenamideantiviral Therapy on Renal Function in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients: A Real-World Retrospective Study.
Background: Entecavir (ETV), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), and tenofovir alafenamide(TAF) are first-line nucleos(t)ide analogs (NUCs) with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). This study aimed to assess the renal safety profile in NUC-experienced CHB patients who received ETV, TDF or TAF therapy.
Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study investigated factors related to renal function in 154 patients with NUC-experienced CHB who received ETV, TDF, and TAF therapy for 48 weeks. Changes in UREA, uric acid (UA), creatinine (Cr), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance. A linear mixed-effects model for repeated measures was used to evaluate the correlation between baseline information and eGFR changes 48 weeks following treatment initiation. The model considered sex, baseline age, viral load, aminotransferases, renal function, and treatment group as fixed effects, and incorporated random effects for individual subjects.
Results: There were no significant differences in UA or Cr levels during therapy over time. The eGFR level was elevated in ETV-treated patients (117.5 ± 16.65 mL/min/1.7m2 vs 109.8 ± 15.69 mL/min/1.7m2, P=0.027), whereas it did not change significantly in TDF- (123.6 ± 28.54 mL/min/1.7m2 vs 115.5 ± 20.44 mL/min/1.7m2, P=0.070) and TAF-treated (121.6 ± 23.44 mL/min/1.7m2 vs 113.4 ± 16.90 mL/min/1.7m2, P=0.053) patients. Younger patients (<30 years) and those with higher HBV DNA (> 7 log10IU/mL) and lower alanine aminotransferase levels (<5 × upper limit of normal) showed a significant improvement in eGFR elevation during NUCs therapy. The linear mixed-effects model showed that the baseline HBV DNA level was an important positive predictor of eGFR elevation at 48 weeks following treatment initiation (estimate was 1.437 and 2.449, P<0.001).
Conclusion: In real-life experience, ETV, TDF, and TAF therapy may not be associated with eGFR changes in NUC-experienced CHB patients without baseline renal impairment.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of General Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on general and internal medicine, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment protocols. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research and clinical studies across all disease areas.
A key focus of the journal is the elucidation of disease processes and management protocols resulting in improved outcomes for the patient. Patient perspectives such as satisfaction, quality of life, health literacy and communication and their role in developing new healthcare programs and optimizing clinical outcomes are major areas of interest for the journal.
As of 1st April 2019, the International Journal of General Medicine will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
