چکیده
BACKGROUND To assess the long-term effectiveness and safety of adefovir (ADV) plus lamivudine (LMV) in LMV-resistant (R) kidney transplants with chronic hepatitis B, 11 such patients were treated with add-on ADV. METHODS Serum alanine aminotransferase, renal function and serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels were assessed every 3 months; ADV mutations were searched for by INNO-LiPA HBV DR v2 assay. RESULTS During 36 months (12-48), nine patients cleared serum HBV DNA with a 3-year cumulative virological response rate of 88%, without the emergence of ADV mutations. ADV dose was reduced in six patients (55%) showing a decline of creatinine clearance, in the absence of proximal tubulopathy. CONCLUSIONS In LMV-R kidney graft recipients, long-term add-on therapy with ADV is efficacious and safe with timely adaptation of ADV dose.

Long-term adefovir dipivoxil monotherapy for up to 5 years in lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B.
BACKGROUND Large clinical studies assessing long-term adefovir dipivoxil salvage monotherapy in patients with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B (CHB) are lacking, particularly in patients positive for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). We assessed the efficacy and resistance profile of adefovir dipivoxil monotherapy for up to 5 years in a large cohort of Korean patients with lamivudine-resis...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To analyze the effects of preexisting lamivudine (LAM) resistance and applying antiviral treatment (adefovir [ADV] add-on LAM combination treatment) on long-term treatment outcomes, and comparing the clinical outcomes of antiviral-naïve chronic hepatitis B patients receiving entecavir (ETV) monotherapy. METHODS This study enrolled 73 antiviral-naïve patients who received 0.5-m...
متن کاملEvolution and suppression of HBV strains with multidrug resistance to lamivudine, adefovir dipivoxil and entecavir in a patient with chronic hepatitis B.
Here, we report a case of multidrug resistance in a patient with chronic hepatitis B. The patient sequentially received lamivudine, adefovir dipivoxil and entecavir, and subsequently developed single-, double- and triple-drug-resistant HBV strains. We consider this case report important because it documents, for the first time, that triple-drug-resistant HBV strains identified in a clinical set...

Advances in hepatitis B virus (HBV) antiviral prophylaxis have dramatically improved graft and patient survival for patients undergoing liver transplantation for hepatitis B related end-stage liver disease. In particular, the availability of hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIg) in combination with nucleos(t)ide analogues such as lamivudine and adefovir, have transformed outcomes. The availability...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To investigate the association between the baseline profiles and dynamics of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA polymerase gene mutations and the long-term virological response of lamivudine (LAM)-adefovir (ADV) combination therapy in patients with LAM-resistant chronic hepatitis B. METHODS Seventy-five patients who received LAM-ADV combination therapy for more than 12 months were an...
