Determination of the Quantitative Content of HBsAg in Blood Serum during Complex Monitoring for Chronic Hepatitis B in HIV-Infected Patients
Journal Title: Актуальна інфектологія - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents the results of quantitative content of HBsAg investigation in patients with HIV/chronic hepatitis В coinfection compared with the presence/absence of hepatitis В virus DNA and alanine aminotransferase level in the blood. It has been found that in patients with HIV/chronic hepatitis В coinfection, who receive treatment, the absence of hepatitis В virus DNA is significantly associated with a reduced HBsAg level, and especially with increasing duration of treatment. When compared with the content of alanine aminotransferase, it has been revealed that HBsAg level significantly increased only in patients who did not receive antiviral treatment and have alanine aminotransferase level above normal. Thus, quantification of serum HBsAg can be considered as reliable additional criterion for monitoring the treatment of patients with HIV/chronic hepatitis В coinfection using nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
