The Relationship Between Long-term Oral Anti Hepatitis B Nucleoside Analogs and Hepatic Steatosis
- Conditions
- Hepatic Steatosis
- Registration Number
- NCT05416008
- Brief Summary
This study aims to investigate whether long-term use of nucleotide analogues could promote hepatic steatosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The degree of hepatic steatosis was observed after 3 years of antiviral treatment with nucleoside (acid) analogues for the first time to determine whether the long-term use of anti hepatitis B nucleoside (acid) analogues could promote hepatic steatosis. To explore the anti hepatitis B nucleotide analogues that can promote liver steatosis, so as to provide evidence-based medical evidence for the selection or adjustment of anti hepatitis B virus drugs in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
- Detailed Description
This is a single-center, prospective, observational study involving chronic hepatitis B patients from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.
Research implementation process and route
Recruitment object: Patients with chronic hepatitis B, defined as persistent hepatitis B surface antigen positive for ≥ 6 months, (aged ≥ 18, treatment-naive ) were consecutively recruited for outpatient routine examination between July 2021 and December 2022. We excluded patients with prior history of hepatocellular carcinoma, concomitant hepatitis C virus or human immunodeficiency virus infection, primary biliary cirrhosis, Wilson's disease, autoimmune hepatitis, significant alcohol intake (≥ 30 g per day for male, or ≥ 20 g per day for female), on steatogenic medications, prior liver transplantation. The basic information and various examination indexes of the patients were collected, and the patients were informed that they needed to go to the outpatient clinic of our hospital for follow-up examination every 1 year, with a total follow-up of 3 years.
Data to be collected: general medical history characteristics: medical record number, name, gender, age, , enrollment time, contact information, and name of anti hepatitis B drugs. Examination and inspection indicators: liver function, renal function, blood chart analysis, blood lipid, hepatitis B two half and half, anti hepatitis C virus, anti hepatitis D virus, AIDS syphilis screening, high precision hepatitis B virus-DNA quantification, abdominal color Doppler ultrasound (if necessary CT or MR), transient elastography of the liver.
Follow up: after enrollment, the relevant examination indexes were rechecked every 1 year. The follow-up period was 3 years.
Statistical analysis: after a three-year follow-up, the data collected were tested by t-test and multivariate Cox analysis to analyze whether the long-term use of anti hepatitis B nucleoside (acid) analogues could promote hepatic steatosis.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Liver transient elastography once a year up to 3 years The CAP value was obtained from the liver transient elastography. According to the CAP value, steatosis is divided into mild (CAP 248-267 dB / m), moderate (CAP 268-279 dB / m) and severe (≥ 280 dB / m).
Abdominal color Doppler ultrasound (if necessary CT or MR) once a year up to 3 years Patients with fatty liver were evaluated by abdominal color Doppler ultrasound
Lipid profiles once a year up to 3 years Lipid profiles, such as total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides(TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C).
