Jung CY, Kim HW, Lee JI, Lee HW, Ahn SH, Kim SU, Kim BS. Similar risk of kidney function decline between tenofovir alafenamide and besifovir dipivoxil maleate in chronic hepatitis B. Liver Int 2022; 42:2408-2417. [PMID: 35943853 DOI: 10.1111/liv.15388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Revised: 07/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) and besifovir dipivoxil maleate (BSV) are potent antiviral agents in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection, their renal safety profiles have not been previously compared. This study compared the risk of kidney function decline among patients with treatment-naïve CHB treated with TAF or BSV. METHODS This multicenter, retrospective, longitudinal cohort study included 556 patients with treatment-naïve CHB treated with TAF (n = 366) or BSV (n = 190) between November 2017 and August 2021. The primary outcome was chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, defined as an increase in CKD stage by at least one stage for at least three consecutive months. RESULTS 1:1 Propensity score matching yielded 154 patients in each treatment group. The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 100.4 vs. 100.3 ml/min/1.73 m2 in the TAF and BSV groups respectively. A total of 25 patients developed a progression in CKD stage ≥1, of which 13 and 12 patients were from the TAF and BSV treated groups respectively (3.1 vs. 3.3 per 1000 person-years; p = .751). The unadjusted hazard ratio for risk of progression in CKD stage ≥1 of the BSV group (vs. the TAF group) was 1.13 (95% confidence interval, 0.50-2.58; p = .758). This association persisted even after adjusting for potential confounders. Virological, serological and biochemical responses were also similar between the two treatment groups (all p > .05). CONCLUSIONS TAF and BSV showed a similar risk of kidney function decline in patients with treatment-naïve CHB. Further prospective randomized studies are warranted for validation.

Efficacy and Renal Safety of Prophylactic Tenofovir Alafenamide for HBV-Infected Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911335. [PMID: 36232631 PMCID: PMC9569539 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231911335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
There are no data comparing the efficacy and safety of prophylactic entecavir (ETV), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) for HBV-infected cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and renal safety of ETV, TDF and TAF in this setting. HBsAg-positive cancer patients treated with ETV (n = 582), TDF (n = 200) and TAF (n = 188) during chemotherapy were retrospectively enrolled. Antiviral efficacy and risk of renal events were evaluated. The rate of complete viral suppression at 1 year was 94.7%, 94.7% and 96.1% in ETV, TDF and TAF groups, respectively (p = 0.877). A significant proportion of patients developed renal dysfunction during chemotherapy. The incidences of acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease stage migration were comparable among the ETV, TDF and TAF groups. TAF was relatively safe in patients with predisposing factors of AKI, including hypoalbuminemia and cisplatin use. In patients who were switched from TDF to TAF during chemotherapy, the renal function remained stable and viral suppression was well maintained after switching. In conclusion, TAF had good renal safety and comparable efficacy with ETV and TDF for HBV-infected cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Switching from TDF to TAF during chemotherapy is safe, without a loss of efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) are the preferred agents in patients with predisposing factors for nephrotoxicity, but no studies to date have directly compared the renal safety of the two antiviral agents. Hence, we compared the risk of kidney function decline among patients with treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treated with ETV or TAF. METHODS This study included 1988 patients with treatment-naïve CHB who were treated with ETV (n = 1839) or TAF (n = 149) between 2007 and 2020 for ETV and between 2017 and 2020 for TAF. The primary outcome was chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, defined as an increase in CKD stage by at least one stage for at least three consecutive months. RESULTS A 1:1 propensity score match yielded 149 patients in each treatment group. The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 100.6 ml/min/1.73 m2 vs. 101.3 ml/min/1.73 m2 in the ETV and TAF groups respectively. A total of 61 patients developed a progression in CKD stage ≥ 1, of which 47 and 14 patients were from the ETV- and TAF-treated groups respectively (19.9 vs. 5.1 per 1000 person-years; p < .001). The risk of progression in CKD stage ≥1 was significantly higher in patients treated with ETV, even when adjusted for potential confounders (adjusted hazard ratio 4.05; 95% CI 2.14-7.68; p < .001). CONCLUSIONS ETV was associated with a higher risk of kidney function decline than TAF in patients with treatment-naïve CHB. Therefore, further prospective randomized studies are needed.

Abstract
Background Nucleoside and nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) have become a standard treatment for both HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has been associated with kidney injury and possible long-term damage in patients with HIV. Few studies have examined whether this holds true for patients treated for HBV. Methods Data were gathered from the Veterans Health Administration Corporate Data Warehouse between July 1, 2005 and July 31, 2015. Patients aged ≥ 18 years with HBV infection and prescribed a NRTI for > 1 month were included in the study and followed for 36 months. Patients with HIV infection were excluded, and patients treated with combination TDF/emtricitabine were analyzed separately from patients receiving only TDF. A linear mixed model was used to examine the effects of time and specific agent on renal function, which was measured with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at various time intervals. Results There were 413 incidences of NRTI use in 308 subjects during the 10 years of the study with 39 cases of TDF use. There was a significant fixed effect of time, with eGFR reduction of 4.6 mL/min (P < .001) over the course of the study for the full cohort, but the effects of each medication were not significant. Conclusions This multicenter, retrospective study did not demonstrate an association between TDF use and a greater degree of kidney injury compared with other NRTIs in patients with HBV, but further studies are warranted.

Abstract
The nephrotoxicity of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients without chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate nephrotoxicity of TDF in this population. In this hospital-based cohort study, CHB patients who received either TDF or entecavir (ETV) therapy, and did not have underlying CKD, were retrospectively recruited from January, 2008 to January, 2019. After excluding those with confounding conditions, 257 TDF-treated patients were matched through propensity scores with 514 ETV-treated patients. Cumulative incidences of, and hazard ratios (HRs) for the CKD guideline-defined renal dysfunction, were analysed. The mean decline in glomerular filtration rate was similar over 60 months (TDF vs. ETV: 10.1 ml/min/1.73 m2 , 95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.4-12.7 vs. 8.0 ml/min/1.73 m2 , 95% CI: 6.4-9.6; p = .34). The 5-year cumulative incidence of renal dysfunction was not significantly different (TDF vs. ETV: 10.4%, 95% CI: 5.6-18.0 vs. 5.8%, 95% CI: 3.6-9.0; p = .18). However, in multivariable stratified analysis, TDF was associated with an increased risk of renal dysfunction in the elderly (age ≥60 years), when compared to ETV (HR 2.86, 95% CI: 1.02-8.01; p < .05). For confirming the effect of TDF amongst the elderly, 61 TDF-treated patients were further matched with 183 ETV-treated patients, with 5-year cumulative incidence of renal dysfunction being significantly higher in TDF users (TDF vs. ETV: 34.4%, 95% CI: 17.7-59.8 vs. 15.5%, 95% CI: 9.4-25.1; p < .05). TDF use was independently related to renal dysfunction (HR 2.71, 95% CI: 1.19-6.14; p < .05). Although TDF is generally safe for CHB patients without CKD, it is best to be avoided in the elderly.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load, liver and renal function in adults treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) vs. untreated: a retrospective longitudinal UK cohort study. BMC Infect Dis 2021; 21:610. [PMID: 34174833 PMCID: PMC8235844 DOI: 10.1186/s12879-021-06226-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2021] [Accepted: 05/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Current clinical guidelines recommend treating chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in a minority of cases, but there are relatively scarce data on evolution or progression of liver inflammation and fibrosis in cases of chronic HBV (CHB) that do not meet treatment criteria. We aimed to assess the impact of TDF on liver disease, and the risk of renal impairment in treated CHB patients in comparison to untreated patients. METHODS We studied a longitudinal ethnically diverse CHB cohort in the UK attending out-patient clinics between 2005 and 2018. We examined TDF treatment (vs. untreated) as the main exposure, with HBV DNA viral load (VL), ALT, elastography scores and eGFR as the main outcomes, using paired tests and mixed effects model for longitudinal measurements. Additionally, decline of eGFR during follow-up was quantified within individuals by thresholds based on clinical guidelines. Baseline was defined as treatment initiation for TDF group and the beginning of clinical follow-up for untreated group respectively. RESULTS We included 206 adults (60 on TDF, 146 untreated), with a median ± IQR follow-up duration of 3.3 ± 2.8 years. The TDF group was significantly older (median age 39 vs. 35 years, p = 0.004) and more likely to be male (63% vs. 47%, p = 0.04) compared to the untreated group. Baseline difference between TDF and untreated groups reflected treatment eligibility criteria. As expected, VL and ALT declined significantly over time in TDF-treated patients. Elastography scores normalised during treatment in the TDF group reflecting regression of inflammation and/or fibrosis. However, 6/81 (7.4%) of untreated patients had a progression of fibrosis stage from F0-F1 to F2 or F3. There was no evidence of difference in rates or incidence of renal impairment during follow-up in the TDF vs. untreated group. CONCLUSIONS Risk of liver inflammation and fibrosis may be raised in untreated patients compared to those receiving TDF, and TDF may benefit a larger percentage of the CHB population.

Long-term Nucleotide Analogue Treatment Has Higher Levels of Renal Toxicities than Does Entecavir in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B. Gut Liver 2021; 14:225-231. [PMID: 31060115 PMCID: PMC7096224 DOI: 10.5009/gnl18474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2018] [Revised: 02/10/2019] [Accepted: 03/01/2019] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background/Aims Renal toxicity is a concern in patients with chronic hepatitis B taking nucleotide analogues, such as adefovir (ADV) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). We sought to determine the long-term renal effects of nucleotide analogue treatment versus entecavir (ETV) treatment. Methods In this retrospective single-center study, we selected 87 patients who were treated with ADV and subsequently with TDF from June 2008 to December 2013. ETV-treated patients were matched by treatment duration. We analyzed the creatinine increase over 0.5 mg/dL, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decrease over 25%, phosphorus decrease under 2.0 mg/dL, and dose reduction of antiviral agents. Results The median follow-up period was 60.0 months for both groups. The incidence of liver cirrhosis was higher in the ADV-TDF group than in the ETV group (32.2% vs 74.7%, p<0.01). Creatinine increased in both groups during follow-up, but the difference was not significant (5.7% and 2.3%, p=0.44). In addition, GFR decreased more often in the ADV-TDF group than in the ETV group (31.0% and 14.9%, p=0.01). After multivariate Cox regression analysis, ADV-TDF treatment was significantly associated with a GFR decrease over 25% (hazard ratio, 2.10; 95% confidence interval, 1.08 to 4.10; p=0.03) after adjusting for the baseline GFR decrease. Conclusions Patients taking nucleotide analogues had a significantly higher number of renal events than did those taking ETV. Clinicians should be aware of the development of renal toxicity in this patient population. Further long-term studies are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and entecavir are effective antiviral medications that are recommended as first-line monotherapies for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection, including decompensated liver cirrhosis with ascites. Acute kidney injury (AKI) commonly occurs in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. The aim of this study was to compare the development of AKI during TDF and entecavir treatment of CHB patients with cirrhotic refractory ascites. METHODS From January 2011 to April 2017, we identified patients who were diagnosed with cirrhosis with refractory ascites and received TDF or entecavir treatments at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine of more than 0.3 mg/dL or 1.5-fold from baseline. All episodes of AKI were recorded and compared between those who received TDF and entecavir. RESULTS A total of 111 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study, of which 22 patients were treated with TDF and 89 were treated with entecavir. Patients with AKI episodes had a higher proportion of TDF treatment (P = 0.01), male (P = 0.023), hepatocellular carcinoma (P = 0.007), admission (P = 0.045), and mortality (P = 0.018). Logistic regression analysis illustrated that TDF treatment of patients with comorbidity was an independent risk factor for the development of AKI [odds ratio (OR), 3.756; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.293-10.912; P = 0.015] and hepatorenal syndrome (OR, 7.651; 95% CI, 1.697-34.508; P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS TDF treatment is a risk factor for AKI and HRS development in cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites in comparison with entecavir treatment, especially in patients with comorbidity.

Abstract
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) effectively suppresses viral replication in chronic hepatitis B (CHB), but occasionally leads to renal impairment. We evaluated the prevalence of viral and biochemical breakthrough and renal function kinetics in renally impaired patients with CHB on reduced and on full-dose TDF. This clinic-based longitudinal cohort study included patients receiving full and reduced dose TDF (due to eGFR [Cockcroft-Gault] <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 ). Viral and biochemical breakthroughs were assessed 1 month after starting full and reduced TDF dose until the end-of-follow-up. Breakthroughs were studied in full and reduced dose TDF, and renal function (MDRD) longitudinally before and after dose reduction within patients starting on full-dose TDF. Of 750 patients on TDF, 78 (10%) had reduced dose and 672 (90%) full dose. At the time of dose reduction, 36 (46%) patients had chronic kidney disease stage G3B. A viral breakthrough occurred in one cirrhotic dialysis-dependent patient (dosed 300 mg weekly) which resolved without signs of decompensation, and in one patient on full dose which resolved spontaneously. One biochemical breakthrough occurred during dose reduction and resolved naturally without viral breakthrough. The MDRD improved within the first year of dose reduction (+3.0 [2.5] mL/min per year; P < .005) and remained stable thereafter. Fifty-three (79%) patients reached an MDRD >50 mL/min during dose reduction. Low dose TDF maintains renal function and viral suppression in most renally impaired patients with CHB, even in those with advanced liver disease. This useful, yet simple strategy could be particularly viable in resource-constrained settings.

Kinetics of hepatitis B surface antigen and estimated glomerular filtration rate in telbivudine-treated hepatitis B patients with different rescue strategies. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0237586. [PMID: 32785260 PMCID: PMC7423127 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0237586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2020] [Accepted: 07/29/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the kinetics of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and quantitative hepatitis B surface antigen (qHBsAg) in telbivudine (LdT)-treated chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients whose treatment was subsequently adjusted with the adding on adefovir or by switching to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) as rescue. Of 295 CHB patients initially treated with LdT, 102 of them who subsequently receiving either adding-on adefovir (group A, n = 58) or switching to TDF (group B, n = 44) for more than 24 months were enrolled. Serial eGFR and qHBsAg levels (3 to 6 monthly) in both LdT monotherapy and rescue therapy periods were analyzed retrospectively. Subsequent decline of qHBsAg especially in rescue therapy period were noted (p<0.001 and p = 0.068 in group A and B). However, patients in group B achieved a significant increase of eGFR (p = 0.010) in LdT monotherapy period but had a significant decline of eGFR (p<0.001) in rescue therapy period. In contrast, patients in group A maintained eGFR levels in both periods. Meanwhile, switch to TDF (hazard ratio: 3.036; 95% confidence interval: 1.040-8.861; p = 0.042) was the sole factor related to the decrease of eGFR>20% from baseline. Both rescue therapies achieved subsequent declines of qHBsAg over time but caused different changes in eGFR. LdT-based rescue therapy maintained eGFR but TDF switching therapy descended eGFR. Therefore, it is essential to monitor patient's renal function intensively when switching from LdT to TDF as a rescue strategy.

Treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or entecavir in chronic hepatitis B virus-infected patients with renal impairment: results from a 7-year, multicentre retrospective cohort study. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2020; 52:500-512. [PMID: 32583915 PMCID: PMC7383725 DOI: 10.1111/apt.15901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2020] [Revised: 04/02/2020] [Accepted: 05/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data exist regarding tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) safety and effectiveness in chronic hepatitis B virus-infected (CHB) patients with renal impairment (RI). AIMS To compare real-world data on renal safety and effectiveness of TDF vs entecavir (ETV) in CHB patients with moderate-to-severe RI. METHODS Retrospective, non-interventional, cohort study analysing medical records for TDF/ETV-treated CHB patients (54 European centres). Included patients experienced moderate-to-severe RI (creatinine clearance 20-60 mL/min [Cockcroft-Gault]) either before TDF/ETV initiation ('before' subgroup [baseline = treatment initiation]) or after TDF/ETV initiation ('after' subgroup [baseline = first RI occurrence]). The primary objective was TDF safety, particularly renal-related adverse events of special interest (AESI). TDF and ETV safety and effectiveness were compared and multivariate analyses were performed using inverse probability treatment weighting. RESULTS 'Before' subgroup included 107 TDF- and 91 ETV-treated patients; 'after' subgroup included 212 TDF- and 77 ETV-treated patients. Mean baseline creatinine clearance was higher for TDF- vs ETV-treated patients (both subgroups). Median follow-up was 3.1 years (both treatments). AESI were more frequent with TDF vs ETV ('before': 18.7% vs 8.8%; 'after': 9.9% vs 3.9%); however, differences were not significant by multivariate analysis. Only TDF-treated patients experienced renal tubular dysfunction (6.5% 'before'; 1.9% 'after') as well as renal adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation (8.4% 'before'; 7.1% 'after'). Effectiveness was similar between treatments. CONCLUSIONS Overall safety was similar for TDF vs ETV (both subgroups). Given that renal tubular dysfunction occurred with TDF and not with ETV, renal safety concerns may be greater with TDF in CHB patients with RI.

Abstract
In patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), long-term effects of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) on renal function have been controversial. This study aimed to analyse the real-world long-term effects of TDF on renal function in Korean patients with CHB. We analysed a cohort of 640 treatment-naïve patients with CHB who were treated with TDF between May 2012 and December 2015 at Severance Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea. The mean age was 48.3 years old, and 59.5% were male. The proportions of hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) were 11.6% and 14.2%, respectively, and that of liver cirrhosis was 20.8%. During the 5-year follow-up, using a linear mixed model, serum creatinine increased from 0.77 ± 0.01 mg/dL to 0.85 ± 0.02 mg/dL (P < .001), and eGFR decreased from 102.6 ± 0.6 mL/min/1.73 m2 to 93.4 ± 1.4 mL/min/1.73 m2 (P < .001). In subgroup analysis, eGFR was statistically more decreased in patients with age > 60 than ≦60 years old (P = .027), and in patients with diuretic use than without diuretic use (P = .008). In multivariate analysis, the independent risk factors for eGFR decrease > 20% were baseline eGFR < 60mL/min/1.73 m2 (P = .034) and the use of diuretics (P < .001). CHB patients on TDF experienced greater reduction in renal function with age > 60 and with diuretic use compared to those without these characteristics. Baseline eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and use of diuretics were independent risk factors of eGFR decline of more than 20% on TDF therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Oral nucleoside/nucleotide analogues (NAs) have been advocated for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treatment with good efficacy. However, less attention has been put on their adverse events. Therefore, a Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed to evaluate the relative safety of five NAs (lamivudine, adefovir dipivoxil, entecavir, telbivudine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) in CHB treatment among adults. METHODS Eligible randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and prospective cohort studies were systematically and thoroughly searched until May 1, 2019. Poisson-prior-based Bayesian NMA was performed to synthesize both direct and indirect evidence with reporting hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% credible intervals (CrIs) for serious adverse events (SAEs) and hepatic/renal impairments. RESULTS Thirty-three RCTs and 11 prospective cohort studies were identified. As to SAEs, no statistically significant difference was found of any comparison among five NAs. In terms of hepatotoxicity, lamivudine was safer than telbivudine (HR 0.45; 95% CrI 0.21, 0.85), and entecavir increased the risk by 102% (entecavir vs lamivudine: HR 2.02; 95% CrI 1.19, 3.27). CONCLUSIONS The findings from this large NMA could influence clinical practice, and the methodological framework of this study could provide evidence-based support to analyze sparse safety data in the field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A complete virological response is closely related to the long-term outcome of patients with chronic hepatitis B and prevention of emerging HBV mutations. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) monotherapy compared to entecavir-adefovir dipivoxil (ETV-ADV) combination therapy in patients with suboptimal responses to long-term lamivudine-adefovir dipivoxil (LAM-ADV) therapy for nucleoside analogue-resistant chronic hepatitis B. METHODS Patients (n=60) were randomized to TDF monotherapy or ETV-ADV combination therapy for 96 weeks. All patients had the rt204I/V mutation and serum HBV DNA was measured (>60 IU/ml) during LAM-ADV therapy. The primary end point was a complete virological response (HBV DNA <20 IU/ml) at week 96. RESULTS The median duration of prior LAM-ADV rescue therapy was 43 (7-108) months. A complete virological response was achieved in 86.6% and 53.3% of patients in the TDF and ETV-ADV groups, respectively, at week 96 (P=0.005). Reduction in serum HBV DNA was significantly greater in the TDF group than in ETV-ADV group (-3.2 ±1.2 versus -2.6 ±1.2; P=0.01). Hepatitis B e antigen loss (22.2% versus 16.6%; P=0.731) and biochemical responses (76.7% versus 73.3%; P=0.766) were not different between the TDF and ETV-ADV groups. No newly emerged mutations were detected. Both therapies demonstrated favourable safety profiles. CONCLUSIONS TDF therapy achieved a better complete virological response than ETV-ADV therapy in chronic hepatitis B patients with suboptimal response to long-term LAM-ADV rescue therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Entecavir (ETV) showed short-term efficacy and safety in HBsAg-positive kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), but long-term data are lacking. METHODOLOGY We retrospectively reviewed 30 HBsAg-positive KTRs who received ETV during 2007-2017. RESULTS Eighteen treatment-naïve (Group I) and 12 lamivudine-resistant (Group II) patients received ETV for 48.4 ± 35.2 and 66.0 ± 26.0 months, respectively. Both groups show significant HBV DNA decline, but Group I achieved earlier undetectability after 11.9 ± 9.6 months (compared with 28.8 ± 24.2 months in Group II, P = .033). Group I showed higher rates of undetectable HBV DNA (89%, 94%, 94%, 100%, and 100% at 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 months, respectively, compared with 25%, 50%, 50%, 91%, and 91% in Group II, P = .003). ALT normalized after 6.0 ± 1.9 and 6.8 ± 2.1 months in Group I and Group II, respectively. Four patients (33.3%) in Group II developed drug resistance (2 had persistent viraemia and 2 had virological breakthrough, at 40.3 ± 15.0 months). Group II showed higher liver stiffness after 5 years (7.7 ± 4.1 kPa, compared with 5.0 ± 1.6 kPa in Group I, P = .046) and incidence of cirrhosis (4 patients [33.3%], compared with 1 [5.6%] patient in Group I, P = .049). Two patients (one in each group) developed hepatocellular carcinoma. Renal allograft function remained stable during follow-up of 63.2 ± 33.4 months for both groups. There was no difference in patient and graft survival between two groups at 5 years (P = .62 and .36, respectively). CONCLUSION ETV showed favorable long-term efficacy and tolerability in treatment-naïve KTRs. One-third of lamivudine-resistant subjects showed non-response or viral breakthrough after ETV treatment.

Abstract
Background and aim Long-term treatment with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) has demonstrated suppression of viral replication outside of China. This study aims to assess efficacy, resistance and safety of TDF for up to 240 weeks in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Methods Patients (HBeAg-positive or HBeAg-negative) who were randomised to receive TDF 300 mg or adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) 10 mg once daily in the 48-week double-blind phase (N = 498) were eligible to enter the open-label TDF phase (TDF–TDF and ADV–TDF groups) for additional 192 weeks. Results Overall, 457/512 (89.3%) randomised patients completed 240 weeks of treatment. Virological suppression was achieved in 84.5% and 87.9% in HBeAg-positive patients and 89.6% and 89.5% in HBeAg-negative patients in TDF–TDF and ADV–TDF groups, respectively, at week 240. The majority of patients from both groups had normalized alanine transaminase levels. More patients had HBeAg loss (41.7% vs. 36.4%) and HBeAg seroconversion (32.0% vs. 28.3%) in TDF–TDF than in ADV–TDF group, respectively. Only one HBeAg-positive patient in TDF–TDF group had HBsAg loss at week 240. No evidence of resistance to TDF was observed. The incidence of adverse events was similar in both groups (TDF–TDF, 56.4% vs. ADV–TDF, 51.6%). One patient had serum creatinine elevation ≥ 0.5 mg/dL above baseline, and three patients had confirmed grade 3/4 phosphorus abnormalities (< 2 mg/dL). Conclusion In Chinese patients with chronic HBV, long-term treatment with TDF showed sustained viral suppression without development of resistance up to 240 weeks. No new safety concerns were found with TDF in this patient population. Clinical Trial Registration ClinicalTrial.gov Identifier NCT01300234; GSK Clinical Study Register 114648.

Trinh S, Le AK, Chang ET, Hoang J, Jeong D, Chung M, Lee MH, Wang U, Henry L, Cheung R, Nguyen MH. Changes in Renal Function in Patients With Chronic HBV Infection Treated With Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate vs Entecavir. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2019; 17:948-956.e1. [PMID: 30130625 DOI: 10.1016/j.cgh.2018.08.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2018] [Revised: 07/12/2018] [Accepted: 08/03/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS It is unclear whether drugs used to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection cause significant renal impairment. We compare adjusted mean estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR; mL/min/1.73 m2) of patients with chronic HBV infection treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) vs patients treated with entecavir. METHODS We performed a retrospective study of patients with chronic HBV infections treated with TDF (n = 239) or entecavir (n = 171), from 2000 through 2016, followed for a mean time of 43-46 months. Levels of serum creatinine were measured ≥12 months while patients received treatment. Patients did not have prior exposure to adefovir or HCV, HDV, or HIV co-infection. We performed propensity score matching (PSM) for age, sex, presence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, baseline eGFR, cirrhosis, and follow-up duration. We performed multivariate generalized linear modeling, adjusting for cirrhosis, diabetes, and hypertension, to estimate adjusted mean eGFR for matched and unmatched cohorts. Cox regression was used to identify predictors of renal impairment. RESULTS eGFRs were ≥60, after PSM, in 116 patients given entecavir and in 116 patients given TDF; eGFRs were <60 in 32 patients given entecavir and 26 patients given TDF. Multivariate generalized linear modeling of the unmatched overall and <60 eGFR cohorts revealed significantly lower adjusted mean eGFRs in patients given TDF (all P < .001). However, in the eGFR ≥60 PSM cohort, the adjusted mean eGFR was similar between patients receiving either treatment. In Cox regression analysis, TDF was not associated with mild or moderate renal impairment compared with entecavir. CONCLUSION In a retrospective study of patients with chronic HBV infections treated with TDF vs entecavir, we found that TDF was not associated with higher risk of worsening renal function during short- or intermediate-term follow-up periods, among patients without significant renal impairment. Additional studies, with longer follow-up periods, are needed because treatment for chronic HBV infection is generally long term or life-long. For patients with baseline renal impairment, significant renal decline was among patients given TDF compared to patients given entecavir.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We conducted this study to compare the efficacy and safety of entecavir and tenofovir in the treatment of treatment-naïve HBV e antigen (HBeAg)-positive patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) for 144 weeks. METHODS A total of 320 treatment-naïve HBeAg-positive CHB patients who received randomly a single regimen of either entecavir capsule (ETV) (n = 160) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate capsule (TDF) (n = 160) for 144 weeks were consecutively enrolled from 14 tertiary hospitals or university hospitals in China between January 2012 and December 2014. RESULTS Two groups showed no difference in baseline characteristics. After 144 weeks of treatment, HBV DNA levels were similarly suppressed in both groups (ETV vs TDF; -6.6485 vs -6.692 log10IU/mL, P = .807). At the same time, both groups showed no difference in terms of the serologic and biochemical response. Of all patients, 2 dropped out due to adverse events and 5 experienced serious adverse reactions. CONCLUSION Both capsules (ETV or TDF) were equally effective in nucleos(t)ide-naive CHB patients with a comparable side-effect profile even in a long-term of 144 weeks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long term renal safety of antiviral agents against hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been debated. AIM To compare longitudinal trends of renal function among HBV mono-infected patients receiving entecavir (ETV), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), and adefovir (ADV) in comparison to untreated subjects. METHODS A retrospective cohort consisting of 815 patients with chronic HBV infection was constructed. Serial estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was compared to the expected rate of age-dependent decline in eGFR, derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. Generalised estimating equations and linear mixed-effects models were used to compare trends in eGFR (in mL/min/1.73m2 as a "unit"). RESULTS In NHANES data (n = 23 051), each year of age was associated with a 0.86 unit decrease in eGFR in subjects without hypertension and 0.96 units with hypertension. The Stanford cohort consisted of patients who received ETV (n = 207), TDF (n = 191), ADV (n = 46) or no therapy (n = 371). After a median follow-up 4.0 (interquartile range: 1.9-6.5) years, there was no significant difference in the expected and observed rates of eGFR decline in untreated HBV patients. Patients receiving antiviral treatment experienced steeper reduction in renal function than expected. In the multivariable model, ETV was associated with eGFR loss at 1.81 units per year (P = 0.06, compared to untreated patients). TDF- and ADV-treated patients experienced significantly higher rate of eGFR loss at 2.21 and 2.63 units per year, respectively (both P < 0.01). CONCLUSION In this longitudinal cohort study, HBV patients receiving antiviral therapy, particularly TDF and ADV, experienced more rapid loss in eGFR.

Abstract
The risk of renal events in HBsAg-positive cancer patients receiving tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) or entecavir (ETV) antiviral prophylaxis during chemotherapy has not been evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate the renal safety of TDF and ETV during chemotherapy. Consecutive, 219 HBsAg-positive cancer patients treated with TDF (n = 106) or ETV (n = 113) for antiviral prophylaxis during chemotherapy with baseline serum creatinine (SCr) <1.2 mg/dL were retrospectively enrolled. Serial SCr levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were monitored. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) during antiviral prophylaxis was 33% and 38.9% in TDF and ETV groups, respectively (P = 0.441), while the incidence of sustained kidney injury was 11.3% and 11.5%, respectively (P = 1.000). By multivariate analysis, diuretics use (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.011, P = 0.042) and serum albumin levels (HR = 0.441, P = 0.001) were independent predictors of AKI; serum albumin levels (HR = 0.252, P = 0.002) was the only factor associated with sustained kidney injury; age (HR = 2.752, P < 0.001), baseline SCr levels (HR = 3.386, P < 0.001), and serum albumin levels (HR = 0.437, P = 0.001) were factors associated with a new eGFR <60 mL/min. 34.9% of patients in TDF group and 35.4% in ETV group had deteriorated chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage at the end of follow-up, respectively. There were no significant differences in the risk of renal events or CKD stage migration between TDF and ETV groups. Renal events may develop in about one-third of HBsAg-positive cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The risk of renal function impairment was comparable between patients treated with TDF and ETV antiviral prophylaxis.

Abstract
Introduction the association between the kidneys and hepatitis B is complex. This study aims to determine the prevalence and factors associated with renal disease in people living with hepatitis B virus (PLHBV) in Cotonou. Methods we conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study in the Hepatogastroenterology Department at the National University Hospital Center in Cotonou over the period May -August 2017. All the patients with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBS Ag) test hospitalized in the study period were included. The diagnosis of renal failure was retained in patients with glomerular filtration rate less than 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 (estimated with MDRD Equation). Results the study involved 105 patients with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBS Ag) test Among them, 65 (61.9%) were under anti-HBV treatment ( 62 of them were under tenofovir ); 41 patients had renal failure (39%) with tubular involvement (2 cases) and glomerular involvement (4 cases). Renal function had got progressively worse over time in 22 patients (21%) and had improved in 6 patients (5.7%). Univariate analysis showed that factors associated with the occurrence of renal failure were: age greater than 50 years (p = 0.0125), high blood pressure (p = 0.0037), initially abnormal renal function (p < 0.0003) and co-medications (p = 0.0007). Anti-HBV treatment wasn't associated with the occurrence of renal failure (p = 0.2887). Conclusion the prevalence of renal failure in PLHBV was high (39%). Age, arterial hypertension, pre-existing renal failure and co-medications were identified as factors associated with decline in renal function in PLHBV.

Abstract
Background/Aims The renal effects of nucleos(t)ide analogs in patients with chronic hepatitis B are controversial. We aimed to compare the impact of entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir (TDF) on renal function in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related cirrhosis. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study of 235 consecutive treatment-naïve patients with HBV-related cirrhosis who were treated with ETV or TDF between December 2012 and November 2013 at Severance Hospital, Seoul, Korea. Results Compensated cirrhosis was noted in 183 patients (ETV 130, TDF 53), and decompensated cirrhosis was noted in 52 patients (ETV 32, TDF 20). There were no significant changes in estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) from baseline in either the ETV- or TDF-treated groups at week 96 (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration, ETV −1.68% and TDF −5.03%, p=0.358). Using a multivariate analysis, the significant factors associated with a decrease in eGFR >20% were baseline eGFR, diabetes mellitus (DM), and the use of diuretics. The use of antiviral agents and baseline decompensation were not determined to be significant factors. Conclusions In patients with HBV-related cirrhosis, TDF has shown similar renal safety to that of ETV over a 2-year period. Renal function should be closely monitored, especially in patients who exhibit decreasing eGFR, DM, and the use of diuretics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal dysfunction remains an issue in tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. AIM To evaluate renal safety of TDF according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines. METHODS We retrospectively recruited CHB patients who received either TDF or entecavir (ETV) monotherapy from January 2008 to August 2015. After excluding confounding conditions, 253 patients who received TDF were randomly matched 1:2 with 506 patients who received ETV through the propensity scores, which consisted of age, gender, cirrhosis, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Renal function deterioration was defined as a drop in GFR category accompanied with a ≥25% eGFR decline. Cumulative incidences of and hazard ratios (HRs) for renal dysfunction were analysed. RESULTS The mean eGFR decline was significantly greater in the TDF group over 48 months (TDF vs ETV: 15.73 mL/min/1.73 m2 , 95% confidence interval [CI]: 13.76-17.70 vs 5.96 mL/min/1.73 m2 , 95% CI: 4.72-7.19; P < 0.001). The cumulative incidence of renal function deterioration was significantly higher in the TDF group (TDF vs ETV: 11.1%, 95% CI: 7.4-14.8 vs 1.7%, 95% CI: 1.0-2.4; P < 0.001). After adjusting for age, pre-existing CKD and diabetes, TDF was independently associated with an increased risk of renal function deterioration (HR 5.36, 95% CI: 2.16-13.35; P < 0.001). Pre-existing CKD (HR 6.71, 95% CI: 2.25-17.65), proteinuria (HR 3.39, 95% CI: 1.23-9.39), and haematuria (HR 4.25, 95% CI: 1.32-13.68) were also independent factors of renal dysfunction. CONCLUSION By following the KDIGO guidelines, we confirmed that TDF was associated with a higher risk of renal dysfunction as compared to ETV.

Abstract
Long-term treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) with nucleos(t)ide analogues is often necessary to achieve durable viral suppression. Therefore, current guidelines recommend the most potent drugs with optimal resistance profiles. Entecavir (ETV), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) are the first-line monotherapies for CHB. All of these drugs are highly effective in suppressing viral replication but with slightly different safety profiles. This review provides an overview of the long-term efficacy and safety data that have become available over the 10 years since ETV and TDF were first approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis, and recent data on TAF in patients with CHB.

Abstract
Renal involvement in hepatitis B occurs in various spectrums and its knowledge is important for clinicians in management of patients. The renal diseases most commonly associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection include membranous nephropathy, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and Polyarteritis nodosa. The widespread use of hepatitis B vaccination has decreased the incidence of HBV-related renal diseases. The incidence of HBV infection in dialysis patients has significantly decreased over the past few decades because of screening of blood products for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antibody, implementation of infection control measures and hepatitis B vaccination. The definition of acute kidney injury has been recently modified in cirrhotic population, helping in prognosis and prediction of mortality. The most common etiologies of acute kidney injury in this cirrhotic population, which account for 80% to 90% of all cases, include volume depletion, acute tubular necrosis and hepatorenal syndrome. Treatment with oral nucleoside/tide analogues (NA) brought a new paradigm in the management of HBsAg positive glomerulonephritis, kidney transplant recipients and dialysis patients, resulting in effective viral suppression, reduced hepatic complications and improved patient survival, without compromising renal allograft outcome. NAs are cleared by the kidneys and therefore their dosage has to be adjusted in all patients with impaired renal function. This article reviews the recent knowledge of the pathogenesis and treatment of HBV-related glomerulonephritis and discusses the management of hepatitis B in patients on dialysis, kidney transplant recipients and cirrhotics, which is continuously evolving.

Fuzheng Huayu capsule as an adjuvant treatment for HBV-related cirrhosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Phytother Res 2017; 32:757-768. [PMID: 29235181 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.6009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2017] [Revised: 11/16/2017] [Accepted: 11/16/2017] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Fuzheng Huayu (FZHY) capsule, a formulated traditional Chinese medicine product with 6 Chinese herbs, is widely used for HBV-related cirrhosis as an adjuvant treatment. However, the efficacy of FZHY capsule for HBV-induced cirrhosis did not be comprehensively proved by systematic analysis. Our current analysis was aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of FZHY capsule by an evidence-based method. Databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wangfang, VIP medicine information system, Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, were searched, and the randomized controlled trials of FZHY capsule were used for the treatment of HBV-associated liver cirrhosis. Meta-analysis was performed by Review Manager 5.3. The efficacy rate, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), albumin (ALB), Procollagen III protein (PIIIP), hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), Collagen C Type IV (IV-C), Child-Pugh score, portal vein diameter, spleen thickness, HBeAg negative conversion rate, and HBV-DNA negative conversion rate were systematically assessed. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool was used to evaluate the methodological quality of eligible studies. Nineteen studies with 1,769 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Compared to conventional treatment, FZHY capsule was effective by increasing the efficacy. FZHY capsule was more efficient in improving ALT, AST, TBIL, PIIIP, HA, LN, IV-C, Child-Pugh grading score, portal vein diameter, spleen thickness, and HBV-DNA negative conversion rate with no serious adverse reactions. Nevertheless, a variety of well-designed randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings since small samples were applied in the previous studies.

Abstract
Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) has recently been approved for chronic hepatitis B (CHB). It is more stable than tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in the plasma and can provide similar efficacy with lower circulating concentration in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Areas covered: This synopsis will review the current anti-HBV standard practice and the changing epidemiology of CHB, specifically the controversies surrounding the renal and bone safety associated with TDF use in the context of an aging CHB population. We will review data from phase 3 registration trials, which demonstrated TAF was not inferior to TDF in antiviral efficacy for both HBeAg-positive and HBeAg-negative patients, while associated with less reduction in the estimated glomerular filtration rate and bone mineral density. Expert commentary: Current data supports the use of TAF as one of the first-line antiviral agents for general CHB patients without hepatic decompensation. However, more real-world data with long-term observation are needed to better define the role of TAF among other oral regimens. Additional studies are also needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAF in special populations such as those with impaired hepatic function, existing impaired renal and/or bone function, and in pregnant women.

Abstract
Background Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and entecavir (ETV) are recommended as the first-line therapy for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) due to their genetic barrier to resistance and effectiveness of virological suppression. TDF and ETV may cause renal toxicity through various mechanisms such as renal tubular injury, apoptosis, and mitochondrial toxicity. The aims of the current review were to assess the potential renal toxicity associated with the use of TDF and ETV in patients infected with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and to provide clinical perspectives on these two agents in the treatment of CHB. Methods A literature search of clinical studies published in PubMed and posted on ClinicalTrials.gov website was implemented to find studies evaluating the potential renal toxicity of TDF and ETV. Results Twenty-one studies were examined in this review. The TDF dose used in the studies was 245 or 300 mg/day and that of ETV was 0.5 or 1 mg/day. Based on the markers of renal function, patients treated with TDF were not more likely to show changes in renal function than those treated with ETV; however, the estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) of patients receiving TDF tended to be more clearly reduced than those of patients receiving ETV. The eGFRs of patients treated with TDF decreased in a time-dependent manner, whereas those of patients treated with ETV increased or decreased across various time points. Conclusion The data shown in this study suggest that use of TDF and ETV could be at least associated with reductions in renal function in patients with chronic HBV infection. However, various risk factors, such as pre-existing renal failure and comorbidities, are also associated with decreased renal function during the treatment of TDF and ETV. Thus, studies of management strategies for HBV-infected patients with these risk factors are necessary in the near future.

Factors Related to Significant Improvement of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rates in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients Receiving Telbivudine Therapy. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2017; 2017:4192169. [PMID: 28757867 PMCID: PMC5516758 DOI: 10.1155/2017/4192169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2017] [Revised: 06/04/2017] [Accepted: 06/12/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The improvement of estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients receiving telbivudine therapy is well known. The aim of this study was to clarify the kinetics of eGFRs and to identify the significant factors related to the improvement of eGFRs in telbivudine-treated CHB patients in a real-world setting. METHODS Serial eGFRs were calculated every 3 months using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. The patients were classified as CKD-1, -2, or -3 according to a baseline eGFR of ≥90, 60-89, or <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively. A significant improvement of eGFR was defined as a more than 10% increase from the baseline. RESULTS A total of 129 patients were enrolled, of whom 36% had significantly improved eGFRs. According to a multivariate analysis, diabetes mellitus (DM) (p = 0.028) and CKD-3 (p = 0.043) were both significantly related to such improvement. The rates of significant improvement of eGFR were about 73% and 77% in patients with DM and CKD-3, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Telbivudine is an alternative drug of choice for the treatment of hepatitis B patients for whom renal safety is a concern, especially patients with DM and CKD-3.

Abstract
Background Controversy remains as to whether antiviral agents contribute to renal dysfunction in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Thus, the aim of study was to analyze the changes in renal function of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients in response to anti-HBV therapy and the association with treatments. Method We performed a retrospective observational cohort study to investigate factors associated with renal function in 249 Chinese CHB patients who were treated with pegylated interferon α-2a (PEG-IFN-α-2a) or nucleos(t)ide analogues for 48 weeks. Changes of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which was computed with both the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration and the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formulas, were tested by repeated measures One-way analysis of variance within groups. A linear mixed effects model for repeated measures was also used to evaluate the association between baseline information and eGFR changes over time in all enrolled patients. The model considered the baseline age, sex, HBV DNA, aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, treatment group, time, and group-by-time interaction as fixed effects and incorporated random effects for individual subjects. Results The eGFR increased in patients given PEG-IFN-α-2a, decreased in patients given adefovir, but remained stable in patients given entecavir. Age and blood urea nitrogen were significant negative predictive factors for eGFR changes. Conclusion In real-life study, PEG-IFN-α-2a therapy in CHB patients increased eGFR, thus may associate with renoprotective effects when compared with adefovir or entecavir therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term antiviral therapy has resulted in viral suppression and biochemical response in chronic hepatitis B, although the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma has not been abolished. The Page-B score could be useful to estimate the probability of HCC. AIMS To analyze the effectiveness and safety of entecavir or tenofovir for more than 4 years and the usefulness of Page-B score in the real-world setting. METHODS Analysis of Caucasian chronic hepatitis B subjects treated with entecavir or tenofovir from the prospective, multicenter database CIBERHEP. RESULTS A total of 611 patients were enrolled: 187 received entecavir and 424 tenofovir. Most were men, mean age 50 years, 32% cirrhotic and 16.5% HBeAg-positive. Mean follow-up was 55 (entecavir) and 49 (tenofovir) months. >90% achieved HBV DNA <69 IU/mL and biochemical normalization by months 12 and 36, respectively. Cumulative HBeAg loss and anti-HBe seroconversion were achieved by 33.7 and 23.8%. Four patients lost HBsAg; three HBeAg-positive. Renal function remained stable on long-term follow-up. Fourteen (2.29%) developed HCC during follow-up all of them with baseline Page-B ≥10. Nine were diagnosed within the first 5 years of therapy. This contrasts with the 27 estimated by Page-B, a difference that highlights the importance of regular HCC surveillance even in patients with virological suppression. CONCLUSIONS Entecavir and tenofovir achieved high biochemical and virological response. Renal function remained stable with both drugs. A Page-B cut-off ≥10 selected all patients at risk of HCC development.

Abstract
Oral nucleoside/nucleotide analogues (NAs) are currently the backbone of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection treatment. They are generally well-tolerated by patients and safe to use. To date, a significant number of patients have been treated with NAs. Safety data has accumulated over the years. The aim of this article is to review and update the adverse effects of oral NAs. NAs can cause class adverse effects (i.e., myopathy, neuropathy, lactic acidosis) and dissimilar adverse effects. All NAs carry a “Black Box” warning because of the potential risk for mitochondrial dysfunction. However, these adverse effects are rarely reported. The majority of cases are associated with lamivudine and telbivudine. Adefovir can lead to dose- and time-dependent nephrotoxicity, even at low doses. Tenofovir has significant renal and bone toxicity in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, bone and renal toxicity in patients with CHB are not as prominent as in HIV infection. Entecavir and lamivudine are not generally associated with renal adverse events. Entecavir has been claimed to increase the risk of lactic acidosis in decompensated liver disease and high Model for End-Stage Liver Disease scores. However, current studies reported that entecavir could be safely used in decompensated cirrhosis. An increase in fetal adverse events has not been reported with lamivudine, telbivudine and tenofovir use in pregnant women, while there is no adequate data regarding entecavir and adefovir. Further long-term experience is required to highlight the adverse effects of NAs, especially in special patient populations, including pregnant women, elderly and patients with renal impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety between tenofovir and entecavir in the treatment of CHB and HBV related cirrhosis through Meta-analysis. Methods The electronic databases of PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Nature, CNKI and WanFang data were searched. The key words were: ("tenofovir", "entecavir") and ("Chronic Hepatitis B" or "CHB") and "Liver cirrhosis". Heterogeneity and report bias were analyzed. RESULTS There was significant difference of ALT norm level in the short-term period of 3months (RR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.06-1.94, P<0.017) and 6months (RR=0.89, 95%CI: 0.81-0.97, P<0.017), and significant difference of undetectable HBV-DNA only in 3months follow-up period (RR=1.59, 95%CI: 1.04-2.42, P<0.017) between TDF and ETV, but no significant difference in the long-term period. There is significant difference between TDF and ETV in eGFR level (RR=1.601, 95%CI: 1.035-2.478, P=0.0034) and hypophosphatemia incidence (RR=4.008, 95%CI: 1.485-10.820, P=0.006). CONCLUSION TDF has a better efficacy than ETV in 3months treatment duration, but intriguingly, TDF might not better than ETV during the 6months treatment period in the viral suppression and liver function improvement. There's no significant difference between TDF and ETV in the long-term treatment duration and in the treatment of HBV related liver cirrhosis. Both TDF and ETV could influence renal function but patients under TDF therapy may have more risk to suffer from renal damage and hypophosphatemia.

Abstract
Background and Aim Chronic hepatitis B infection remains a significant health issue worldwide. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of combined therapy using lamivudine plus adefovir (LAM+ADV) versus telbivudine plus adefovir (LdT+ADV) and the corresponding renal function change and safety. Methods This study enrolled a total of 171 patients (110 patients received LAM+ADV and 60 patients received LdT+ADV). We analyzed the changes in renal function using the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The DNA undetectable rate, hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion rate, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normalization rate were analyzed. We checked the serum uric acid, phosphate and creatine kinase, and lactic acid levels to analyze safety. We observed these patients for 48 to 240 weeks and checked their serum profile every 6 months. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) efficacy in terms of DNA undetectable rate, ALT normalization rate, and HBeAg seroconversion rate. Both the LAM+ADV and LdT+ADV groups had stable or improved renal function. However, a higher eGFR was found in the LdT+ADV group with continuous serum fluctuation during 3 years of combined therapy as well as a higher serum creatine kinase level. Conclusions Long-term LdT+ADV combined therapy and LAM+ADV combined therapy were both associated with stable or improved renal function. The clinical efficacy was similar between the two groups, but the LdT group had a higher serum creatine kinase level. We need to monitor the data regularly in clinical practice.

Altered Underlying Renal Tubular Function in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B Receiving Nucleos(t)ide Analogs in a Real-World Setting: The MENTE Study. J Clin Gastroenterol 2016; 50:779-89.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cases of renal tubular dysfunction have been reported in patients with hepatitis B and in patients with human immunodeficiency virus who are undergoing tenofovir treatment. However, little is known about the impact on tubular function in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) under long-term use of entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). We evaluated markers of renal tubular function and bone turnover in patients with CHB treated with ETV or TDF. PATIENTS AND METHODS A multicenter, cross-sectional study was performed on markers of renal tubular function and bone turnover in hepatitis B virus-monoinfected patients on long-term treatment with Entecavir or Tenofovir (the MENTE study). The analyzed parameters were: retinol-binding protein/creatinine, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin/creatinine, excretion of phosphates, uric acid excretion, glomerular filtrate, protein/creatinine, albumin/creatinine, serum creatinine, phosphate, CTX, P1NP, vitamin D, and parathormone. RESULTS A total of 280 patients (ETV: 89, TDF: 69, control: 122) were included in this study. The TDF group was associated with altered levels of retinol-binding protein (RBP)/creatinine (TDF 25% vs. 7% ETV and control; P<0.001). Protein/creatinine, uric acid excretion, P1NP1, and parathormone were higher in the TDF group. The proportion of patients with serum phosphate <2.5 mg/dL was higher in both the ETV and the TDF groups compared with the control. The multivariate analysis showed that the use of TDF was independently associated with a higher risk of altered excretion of RBP/creatinine (4.4; interquartile range: 1.4 to 14; P=0.013). CONCLUSIONS We found an independent association between TDF use and altered RBP excretion. This finding indicates subclinical tubular damage. Because tubular dysfunction can precede the decline of renal function, close monitoring of RBP levels in patients with CHB on nucleos(t)ide analog treatment must be performed for early detection of TDF-related renal toxicity. In this study, these differences in tubular function were not associated with concomitant changes in markers of bone turnover.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Multidrug resistance protein 4 (MRP4) has been associated with nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) antiretroviral therapy failure, though is unclear if MRP4 is also correlated with the failure of anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) therapy. METHODS Multidrug resistance protein 4 expression in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), liver tissues and human hepatoma cell lines was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), western blotting and immunohistochemistry assays. Supernatant and intracellular HBV DNA levels of MRP4-overexpressing or silenced HepG2.4D14 (wild-type) and HepG2.A64 (entecavir-resistant mutant) cells were measured by quantitative PCR. NA concentrations and HBV mutational analysis were assessed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry assays and DNA sequencing. Multivariate analysis was used to assess predictive factors for treatment failure. RESULTS High expression of MRP4 was found in hepatoma cell lines and PBMCs, and up- or down-regulation of MRP4 expression altered the susceptibility of cells to NAs. MRP inhibitors increased NA intracellular accumulation and decreased extracellular levels. Moreover, MRP4 expression in PBMCs was correlated with that in paired liver tissues. Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed MRP4 mRNA expression to be an independent predictor of NA treatment failure. CONCLUSIONS Multidrug resistance protein 4 is a critical protein associated with the antiviral efficacy of NAs, and combination therapy of NA and MRP inhibitors could reduce the dosage for long-term NA use. This is the first report to demonstrate that MRP4 expression is an important factor predicting treatment failure in chronic hepatitis B patients and will provide a potential therapeutic target against HBV.

Abstract
Background/Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) during telbivudine (LdT) versus entecavir (ETV) treatment in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with underlying comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, and cirrhosis. Methods From 2010 to 2012, 116 CHB patients treated with LdT and 578 treated with ETV were compared in this real-practice cohort. The mean changes in eGFR (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [MDRD] formula) from baseline to months 6, 12, and 18 were analyzed using a linear mixed model. Results In LdT-treated patients, the mean eGFR increased by 7.6% at month 18 compared with the eGFR at baseline (MDRD formula in mL/min/1.73 m2). However, in ETV-treated patients, the mean eGFR decreased by 4.1% at month 18 compared with the eGFR at baseline. In the LdT-treated patients with DM, hypertension, cirrhosis or low eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2, the mean eGFR showed a steady improvement, whereas the mean eGFR was reduced in the same subgroups of ETV-treated patients. Conclusions The eGFR gradually increased over time during LdT treatment, especially in patients with mild abnormal eGFR at baseline, and in those with DM, hypertension, and cirrhosis, whereas a reduction in eGFR was seen with ETV treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nucleos(t)ide analogues (NUCs) for chronic hepatitis B treatment achieve high rates of viral suppression and are generally well tolerated. Entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) are the currently preferred first-line agents. The safety of these agents in clinical practice is particularly relevant since long-term treatment is usually required. AIM To summarise and critically discuss recent real-world evidence on the safety of treatment with ETV or TDF in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-monoinfected patients. METHODS PubMed and conference proceedings up to 15th June 2015 were searched using the terms ((((Hepatitis_B) OR HBV) AND ((tenofovir) OR entecavir)) AND (((lactic_acidosis) OR bone) OR renal)). RESULTS In selected populations included in registration studies, both ETV and TDF were well tolerated with no clinically significant renal toxicity or lactic acidosis. Growing 'real-world' clinical experience with these agents includes some reports of ETV-associated lactic acidosis and TDF-associated renal impairment; however, evidence from cohort studies appears to be conflicting. In the case of ETV-related lactic acidosis, a small number of cases have been reported, all in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. The degree of association between TDF treatment and changes in markers of renal function varies between studies: discrepancies may result from the use of different definitions and cut-offs for reporting renal toxicities, and differences in patient populations. CONCLUSIONS Pre-treatment and on-treatment monitoring of eGFR and phosphorus, with prompt appropriate dose adjustment or treatment switch can minimise the impact of NUC renal toxicity. Standardisation of measures of renal impairment and identification of early molecular markers remain an unmet need.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the renal function in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients who received nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) therapy using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) titer. We performed a longitudinal observational study of 37 tenofovir-, 42 telbivudine-, and 62 entecavir-naïve CHB patients, who had impaired renal function (eGFR, 90-30 ml/min/1.73m2) without history of diabetes, hypertension, and chemotherapy. Calculation and evaluation of eGFR was performed with the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration, and Cockcroft-Gault formula at pretreatment, at baseline, and after the 1st and 2nd year of treatment. The eGFR was significantly increased in patients given telbivudine or entecavir (p = 0.003 and p = 0.012, respectively), but the eGFR was decreased in patients given tenofovir (p = 0.001) after 2 years of treatment. Of all patients, eGFR was stable one year prior to treatment. If we analyzed the renal function by change of chronic kidney disease (CKD) category with a change of 25% of eGFR, the proportion of uncertain drop (drop in CKD category with <25% decrease in eGFR) and certain drop (drop in CKD category with ≧25% decrease in eGFR) in tenofovir group was smaller (5.4%) than those of telbivudine (12.9%) or entecavir (6.5%). Furthermore, telbivudine had the lowest stable rate (76.2%), the highest certain rise rate (9.5%), and certain drop rate (7.1%) compared to the other groups (p = 0.049). In conclusion, in NAs-naïve CHB patients with impaired renal function, telbivudine and entecavir resulted in a significant increase in eGFR while tenofovir resulted in a significant decrease after a 2-year treatment. Interestingly, TDF had the lowest proportion of patients reclassified to certain and uncertain drop groups; in contrast, LdT had a higher proportion in both raise and drop groups. The outcomes of this renal effect remain to be determined.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Chronic hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection remains a significant global health problem. Evidence-based guidelines are needed to help providers determine when treatment should be initiated, which medication is most appropriate, and when treatment can safely be stopped. The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases HBV guideline methodology and writing committees developed a protocol a priori for this systematic review. We searched multiple databases for randomized controlled trials and controlled observational studies that enrolled adults ≥18 years old diagnosed with chronic HBV infection who received antiviral therapy. Data extraction was done by pairs of independent reviewers. We included 73 studies, of which 59 (15 randomized controlled trials and 44 observational studies) reported clinical outcomes. Moderate-quality evidence supported the effectiveness of antiviral therapy in patients with immune active chronic HBV infection in reducing the risk of cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In immune tolerant patients, moderate-quality evidence supports improved intermediate outcomes with antiviral therapy. Only very low-quality evidence informed the questions about discontinuing versus continuing antiviral therapy in hepatitis B e antigen-positive patients who seroconverted from hepatitis B e antigen to hepatitis B e antibody and about the safety of entecavir versus tenofovir. Noncomparative and indirect evidence was available for questions about stopping versus continuing antiviral therapy in hepatitis B e antigen-negative patients, monotherapy versus adding a second agent in patients with persistent viremia during treatment, and the effectiveness of antivirals in compensated cirrhosis with low-level viremia. CONCLUSION Most of the current literature focuses on the immune active phases of chronic HBV infection; decision-making in other commonly encountered and challenging clinical settings depends on indirect evidence.

Abstract
Renal functional decline that is frequently seen during chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treatment can exert adverse effects on overall prognosis. It, however, is difficult to distinguish vulnerable patients who may experience renal dysfunction because most previous CHB studies were conducted in relatively healthy individuals. In this retrospective observational study, renal functional decline in CHB patients receiving oral antiviral agents for more than 6 months was analyzed and risk factors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression were determined. Renal functional decline was defined when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decreased by more than 25% from baseline and rapid CKD progression was defined as eGFR decreased by more than 5 mL/min/1.73 m2/y among patients who experienced renal functional decline. A total of 4178 patients were followed up for a median 23 months. Antiviral agents included lamivudine (17.0%), adefovir (3.7%), entecavir (70.4%), telbivudine (0.6%), tenofovir (4.0%), or clevudine (4.3%). Renal functional decline occurred in 706 (16.9%) patients. Based on multivariate Cox regression analysis, age, hypertension, diabetes, history of liver or kidney transplantation, underlying underlying CKD, and simultaneous administration of diuretics increased the hazard ratio for renal functional decline; however, clevudine reduced risk. The eGFR significantly increased over time in patients receiving telbivudine or clevudine compared with lamivudine. Among the 3175 patients followed up for more than 1 year, 407 (12.8%) patients experienced rapid CKD progression. Patients with rapid CKD progression showed lower serum albumin, higher total bilirubin, and prolonged prothrombin time compared with patients with stable renal function, but hepatitis B envelope antigen positivity and hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid level did not differ between the control and rapid CKD progression groups. Age, diabetes, kidney transplantation, underlying CKD, and simultaneous administration of diuretics were identified as risk factors for rapid CKD progression, and clevudine showed a beneficial effect. Age, hypertension, diabetes, liver or kidney transplantation, underlying CKD, and diuretics were identified as risk factors for renal functional decline. This study suggests that close monitoring of renal function and adequate management are required for CHB patients receiving antiviral agents with these risk factors.

Abstract
At present, for adults with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, two new analogues, entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir, are recommended as the first-line therapy by the EASL (European Association for the Study of the Liver), AASLD (American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases), and APASL (Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver) guidelines. The use of pegylated interferon-α (PEG IFN-α) is recommended as the first-line therapy instead of standard IFN-α according to the above 3 guidelines. In this paper, the aim was to assess: (1) the long-term efficacy and safety as well as the resistance to ETV and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF); (2) the efficacy of PEG IFN-α; (3) the role of combination therapy with IFN plus two analogues, such as lamivudine and ETV; (4) the efficacy and safety of two analogues with cirrhosis, and (5) suppression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by ETV and IFN treatment. The results are as follows: (1) both ETV and TDF showed long-term efficacy and safety; (2) PEG IFN-α resulted in a greater decline in HBV DNA levels and a higher rate of HBeAg seroconversion; (3) combination therapy with IFN plus two analogues did not elevate the rate of sustained responses; (4) both ETV and TDF showed efficacy and safety with cirrhosis (ETV especially displayed efficacy and safety with decompensated cirrhosis), and (5) suppression of HCC was observed by ETV and IFN.

Abstract
The landscape of therapeutic options for hepatitis B and C has changed drastically over the course of 2 decades. There are now novel, effective, well-tolerated, oral antiviral agents being used to successfully control chronic hepatitis B (HBV) infections and cure chronic hepatitis C (HCV) infections. However, patients with CKD were rarely included in the Phase II and III randomized trials for these medications. This paucity of data and the high prevalence of comorbidities associated with CKD pose distinct challenges to physicians treating chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections in the setting of kidney insufficiency/failure. Thus, this review will attempt to summarize the current data regarding novel antiviral therapies for HBV and HCV in the CKD population.

Abstract
This study aims to assess the nephrotoxicity and efficacy of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir), telbivudine and entecavir. A retrospective study of 587 patients with chronic hepatitis B treated with tenofovir (n = 170), telbivudine (n = 184) and entecavir (n = 233) for at least 1 year. Renal function and efficacy were assessed. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decreased significantly in the tenofovir group after a mean of 17 months treatment (from 92.2 to 85.6 mL/min/1.73 m(2), p < 0.001), but increased in the telbivudine group after a mean of 32 months of treatment (from 86.1 to 95 mL/min/1.73 m(2), p < 0.001). There was no significant change in eGFR in the entecavir group after a mean of 44 months. By multivariate analysis, pre-existing renal insufficiency (p = 0.003), tenofovir (p = 0.007) and diuretic treatment (p = 0.001) were independent predictors for renal function deterioration. Cumulative virological breakthrough was 0% in tenofovir after 2 years, 3.4% in entecavir after 7 years and 22.9% in telbivudine after 5 years. Liver cirrhosis (p = 0.008) and virological breakthrough (p = 0.040) were independently associated with increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma development. Tenofovir may lead to deterioration in renal function as assessed by serial eGFR measurements. Although telbivudine appeared to be associated with an improvement in eGFR, it was associated with high rates of virological breakthrough, which was an independent risk factor for HCC development. With low rates of virological breakthrough and preservation of renal function, entecavir could be the best choice among these three agents.
