肝移植后乙型病毒性肝炎复发的临床病理研究

目的 探讨肝移植后乙型病毒性肝炎(简称"乙肝")复发的临床特点及常见的组织病理学特征.方法 回顾分析17例肝移植后乙肝复发患者的临床和组织病理学检查资料.结果 乙肝复发时间为肝移植后(21.2±13.2)个月(4～48个月).12例因乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)DNA出现酪氨酸-蛋氨酸-门冬氨酸-门冬氨酸(YMDD)变异,3例因原发性肝癌(HCC)复发后的化疗,2例因自行停用拉米夫定.12例存在YMDD变异者将拉米夫定替换为恩替卡韦或加用阿德福韦治疗,2例停用拉米夫定者继续应用拉米夫定治疗,3例HCC复发者将拉米夫定替换为恩替卡韦治疗.经抗病毒治疗后,3例分别因纤维淤胆型肝炎所致肝功能衰竭和肿瘤复发而死亡,其余14例肝功能逐渐恢复正常,HBV DNA拷贝均＜102IU/ml.乙肝复发后移植肝组织病理特点以肝细胞变性、坏死,以及汇管区炎症和纤维化为主.乙肝复发后随着时间的延长,HBV在肝细胞内的复制增多,急性排斥反应发生次数增加,肝组织纤维化增生,纤维间隔形成,甚至出现假小叶.结论 肝移植后乙肝复发时出现纤维化的时间早、进展快,HBV复制水平与肝组织坏死和炎症反应密切相关.尽早发现乙肝复发和有效的抗病毒治疗能显著改善患者预后.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of HBV recurrence after liver transplantation. Methods The retrospective analysis of the clinicopathological changes was performed on 17 patients who had HBV recurrence after liver transplantation in our medical department. Results HBV recurrence happened from 4 to 48 months. Twelve of them which were identified to be YMDD mutation switched to entecavir or added adefovir. Three of them receiving chemotherapy when liver cancer recurred switched to entecavir. Two of them with withdrawal of lamivudine were given lamivudine continuously. Liver function returned to the normal level and HBVDNA was ＜ 102 U/ml after anti-hepatitis B virus. The histological changes in the transplanted livers included hepatocellular degeneration, necrosis and apoptosis, portal infiltrations and fibrosis.With time after recurrence, it was easier to see hepatitis B virus replication in liver cells, incidence of acute rejection, increases of liver fibrosis and the formation of fibrous septa, even pseudolobule.Conclusion In native HBV infection livers, fibrosis occurs more early and develops rapidly. The number of virus is closely related to liver necrosis and inflammation. Early discovery and change to quick and effective treatment of anti-hepatitis B virus in time can improve greatly the prognosis of the patients.     

肾移植后因免疫抑制剂的不良反应转换应用咪唑立宾的效果

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of conversion therapy to mizoribine (MZR) for renal transplant patients who suffered MMF or Aza adverse reaction. Methods In 56 patients with adverse reactions at different time points after renal transplantation, there were 23 cases of pulmonary infection, 14 cases of bone marrow depression, 6 cases of hepatic functional lesion and 13 cases of diarrhea. The immunosuppressive protocols of these patients were changed to CNI + MZR + Pre when the adverse reaction occurred. During the follow-up period (11 to 53 months), the effect and adverse events of conversion treatment were observed. Results After conversion treatment, 1 of 23 patients with pulmonary infection was re-infected after 26 months and finally died of heart and lung function failure. In 14 patients with bone marrow depression, blood test returned to normal in 13cases. Six patients with hepatic functional lesion were administered hepatoprotection treatment and their liver function was restored without recurrence of impaired liver function. All 13 patients with diarrhea were relieved without recurrence. The serum creatinine was 123 ± 21.3 μmol/L and 119±18. 2 μmol/L before and after the conversion therapy respectively (P＞0. 05). During the follow-up period, all patients' graft function was good. The incidence of rejection was 1.7 % (1 case). Nine patients (16. 1 %) had a higher level of uric acid after conversion. One patient had finger and toe joint pain. The symptoms were relieved after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion There were high security and good effect of conversion therapy to MZR due to MMF or Aza adverse reaction. Besides, MZR conversion therapy for renal transplantation patients provided a new option for individual immunosuppression.

肾移植后采用巴利昔单抗诱导治疗时的感染及预防

Objective To investigate the incidence of infection and the effect of anti-infection prophylaxis in renal transplanted patients after Basiliximab induction therapy. Methods A total of 204patients who have received renal transplantation and Basiliximab induction therapy from January 1,2001 to December 31, 2010 in our hospital have been retrospective analysed in this study. These patients were divided into a prophylaxis group (118 cases) with Ganciclovir + Sulfadiazine +Trimethoprim therapy and a control group (86 cases) without any anti-infection prophylaxis.Furthermore, 440 transplanted patients in the same peroid without any induction therapy were also analysed. They were also devided into two groups: an anti-infection prophylaxis group (206 cases)and a control group (234 cases) without any anti-infection prophylaxis. Results In the prophylaxis group with Basiliximab induction therapy, there were 23 patients (19. 5 %, 23/118)experienced hospitalization due to infection, 3 cases (13. 0 %,3/23) among them were severe infection, and 3patients (13.0 %, 3/23) died from vital infection. In the non-prophylaxis control group with Basiliximab induction therapy, 27 patients (31.4 %, 27/86) had infection complication, 7 patients (25.9 % ,7/27) among them were severe infection, and 4 patients(14. 8 % ,4/27)died. The incidence of infection between the above two groups is significantly different (P＜0. 05). In the prophylaxis group without induction therapy, the incidence of infection was 15.0 % (31/206), there were no severe infection cases but 7 patients (22. 6 %, 7/31) died from infection. In the non-prophylaxis control group without induction therapy, the incidence of infection was 12. 8 % (30/234), 3 cases among them were severe infection(10. 0 %,3/30)and 5 patients died from infection (16. 7 %, 5/30).The incidence of infection in Basiliximab induced patients without anti-infection prophylaxis is significantly higher than that in patients without induction therapy and anti-infection prophylaxis (31.4 % vs. 12.8 %,P＜0.01). Conclusion Basiliximab induction therapy increased the risk of infection, but not the rate of mortality. It is necessary to give anti-infection prophylaxis in renal transplanted patients with Basiliximab induction therapy.

Abstract：

Objective To evaluate the effect of liver transplantation for end-stage autoimmune liver disease (ESALD) and summarize the clinical experience of liver transplantation in the treatment of ESALD.Methods The clinical data of 11 ESALD cases who underwent liver transplantation from September 2003 to July 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 2 males and 9 females ( median age, 44. 2 ± 8. 7years). The indication of liver transplantation was end stage of primary biliary cirrhrosis (8 cases),autoimmune hepatitis (2 cases), and primary sclerosing cholangitis ( 1 case). In all cases, modified piggyback liver transplantation with venacavaplasty was carried out. Postoperatively all patients were treated with immunosuppressive agents including tacrolimus (or cyclosporine A) and prednisone, some patients were treated additionally with mycophenolate mofetil and ursodeoxycholic acid. Results Postoperatively 2patients of primary biliary cirrhosis died, one of lung infection and multiple organ failure on the 5th postoperative day, the other dying of sepsis and graft dysfunction on the 964th postoperative day. Five cases suffered from episodes of acute cellular rejection within 1 month after transplantation and was successfully reversed by strengthened immunosuppressive therapy. Nine patients recovered satisfactorily and with excellent life quality until now. Patients were followed up from 7 months to 62 months with the median follow-up time of 38 months. The recipient survival rate at 1 year and 3 years was 91% and 82% ,respectively. One patient has now survived for 5 years. No recurrent ALD case was found during follow up.Conclusions Orthotopic liver transplantation is an exclusive treatment for ESALD. Optimum operation timing and effective immunosuppressive treatment are very important for decreasing occurrence of complications.     

肝移植治疗肝脏恶性肿瘤的长期疗效及预后危险因素

目的 总结肝移植治疗肝脏恶性肿瘤的长期疗效,筛选影响移植后肿瘤复发的危险因素.方法 对单中心189例肝脏恶性肿瘤患者行肝移植的临床资料进行回顾性分析.根据肿瘤临床病理类型分别计算受者累积存活率,分析肿瘤临床病理类型与肝移植术后肿瘤复发间的关系,筛选影响肿瘤复发的相关危险因素.结果 189例中围手术期死亡19例,170例进入随访期,随访率为98.8 %.其中166例的原发疾病为原发性肝癌,3例为肝门部胆管癌,1例肝转移癌.166例原发性肝癌肝移植者术后1、3、5和10年的总体存活率分别为52 %、38 %、36 %和36 %,其中符合米兰标准者(49例)的存活率分别为96 %、87 %、87 %和87 %,超出米兰标准者(136例)的存活率分别为42 %、26 %、24 %和24 %(P＜0.05).肿瘤复发是造成肝癌肝移植受者随访期死亡的最主要原因(92.5 %).3例肝门部胆管癌和1例肝转移癌肝移植受者均于术后2年内肿瘤复发.符合米兰标准的肝癌肝移植受者术后肿瘤复发率(10.2 %)显著低于超出米兰标准者(68.4 %,P＜0.05).而在超出米兰标准者中,无大血管侵犯者移植后肿瘤复发率(95.3 %)显著低于肿瘤侵犯大血管者(55.9 %,P＜0.05).以他克莫司为主要免疫抑制剂的受者的肿瘤复发率(46.2 %)低于应用环孢素A者(68.3 %,P＜0.05).移植术前肝肿瘤经皮穿刺射频消融(RF)治疗可降低受者术后肿瘤复发风险(P=0.039,OR=0.293),而术前外周血乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)DNA＞104拷贝/L是移植术后肿瘤复发的高危因素(P=0.016,OR=2.294).结论 对于符合米兰标准的肝癌患者而言,肝移植的远期疗效较好;而合并大血管侵犯者肝移植的预后不佳.移植前RF治疗有助于降低术后肿瘤复发风险,移植等待期应高度重视抗HBV治疗.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the long-term survival of the recipients with liver malignant tumors receiving liver transplantation and determine the risk factors of tumor recurrence after liver transplantation.Methods The follow-up data of the orthotopic liver transplantation for liver malignant tumors during 1999-2010 were retrospectively analyzed.The survival rate of different pathological tumor types was analyzed respectively.The tumor recurrence rate,mortality and morbidity,and the risk factors of the tumor recurrence were also analyzed.Results 170 recipients were followed up.The follow-up duration ranged from 8-132 months.The general 1-,3-,5-,10-year survival rate was 52 %,38 %,36 %,and 36 % respectively.The 1-,3-,5-,10-year survival rate of HCC matching Millan Criteria was 96 %,87 %,87 %,87 %,while that of HCC exceeding Millan Criteria was 42 %,26 %,24 %,24 % respectively(P<0.05).Tumor recurrence was the main course of the death during follow-up period(92.5 %).The recurrence rate of HCC matching and exceeding Millan Criteria was 10.2 %,and 68.4 % respectively(P<0.05).Among the recipients exceeding Millan Criteria,the recurrence rate of HCC with and without blood vessel invasion was 95.3 %,55.9 % respectively(P<0.05).Radiofrequency ablation before transplantation could decrease the risk of tumor recurrence post-transplantation(P=0.039,OR=0.293),while the high HBV-DNA load (>104 copy/L)was the risk factor of tumor recurrence.Conclusion Orthotopic liver transplantation is an effective and safe treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma matching Millan criteria.Blood vessel invasion is regarded as the contraindication of the liver transplantation of HCC.RF is an effective bridging therapy for the HCC patients,and anti-virus therapy is important during transplant waiting period.     

Low-dose intramuscular hepatitis B immune globulin and lamivudine for long-term prophylaxis of hepatitis B recurrence after liver transplantation

The combination of lamivudine and hepatitis B immunoglobulins (HBIg) to prevent recurrence of HBV hepatitis has significantly improved the survival of patients transplanted for HBV-related end-stage liver disease. Generally, HBIg are administered intravenously. We evaluated the efficacy, tolerability, and cost savings of long-term intramuscular HBIg and lamivudine in 28 patients (23 men and 5 women), who received liver transplants for acute or chronic HBV-related liver disease. Twelve patients started lamivudine before and 16 at the time of liver transplantation. HBIg were administered intravenously during the first week (50 to 70,000 IU) and intramuscularly thereafter (1200 IU every 3 to 6 weeks) to maintain an HbsAb titer >100 IU/L. Mean follow-up was 20 +/- 13 months. Only one patient experienced HBV recurrence (9 months after transplantation). This patient had failed to follow the scheduled prophylaxis. Cumulative survival at 3 years was 83%. Intramuscular HBIg were well tolerated in all cases. Cost analysis comparing intramuscular vs intravenous HBIg administration showed that 39,490 Euros were saved per patient per year. These preliminary results show that low-dose intramuscular HBIg and lamivudine are efficacious and cost-effective for long-term prophylaxis of hepatitis B recurrence after liver transplantation.     

No hepatitis recurrence using combination prophylaxis in HBV-positive liver transplant recipients with YMDD mutants

Recurrence of hepatitis B impairs the outcome of liver transplantation (OLT). In serum hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA-positive recipients, prophylaxis using lamivudine and immunoglobulins (HBIg) reduces the risk of recurrence, but it is undefined whether this regimen also protects candidates with YMDD mutants. Seventeen OLT viraemic candidates received pre-emptive lamivudine followed by post-OLT prophylaxis with lamivudine and HBIg. Both sera and liver biopsies were prospectively collected and high-sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was applied for HBV-DNA detection. Finally, the presence of YMDD mutants was explored in all PCR-positive samples. All patients remained hepatitis B recurrence-free after a mean follow up of 32 months. By PCR, serum HBV-DNA was detectable in 64.3% of cases at OLT-baseline, in 64.7% under combined prophylaxis and in 58.8% in patients (70.5% of the total) with a minimum follow up of 24 months. At OLT-baseline, YMDD mutants were found in 44.4% of patients. After OLT, mutants were present in 50% of patients but only in 16.6% of cases in the long period. Although 41% of the native livers and 42.8% of the analysed grafts harboured HBV-DNA, YMDD mutants were detected in 57% of the native positive livers. YMDD mutants were largely detected both at OLT-baseline and post-OLT, but their presence decreased over time. Regardless of the presence of YMDD mutants, no hepatitis B recurrence was observed in our OLT recipients using pre-emptive lamivudine followed by continuous prophylaxis with lamivudine and HBIg.     

核苷类似物联合HBIG干预下肝移植后HBV再感染的危险因素及预后分析

目的 探讨肝移植术后在核苷类似物联合低剂量乙肝免疫球蛋白(HBIG)的干预下乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)再感染的危险因素及其预后.方法 回顾性分析340例因HBV相关性终末期肝病行肝移植患者的临床资料.所有患者术前即开始给予核苷类似物控制病情,术中和术后均给予核苷类似物联合低剂量HBIG的预防方案.术后对患者进行定期随访,监测患者的HBV再感染发生率、存活率及预后.记录患者性别、年龄、原发病、术前2周HBV DNA水平、HbeAg水平、YMDD变异以及术后免疫抑制剂和核苷类似物使用情况等指标进行单因素分析,将P<0.1的变量纳入COX多因素回归分析,筛选出影响术后HBV再感染的危险因素.结果 340例患者术后发生HBV再感染33例,再感染率为9.7%,再感染时间为术后(8.4±13.2)个月(2～49个月),术后1、3、5年再感染率分别为7.0%、10%、13%.33例患者HBV再感染后均停用HBIG,并调整核苷类似物的用量,除3例HBV DNA定量为3 log10～5 log10拷贝/ml外,其余均控制在3 log10拷贝/ml以下.340例患者术后1、3、5年存活率分别为89%、83%和82%,其中HBV再感染者分别为94%,87%,81%,未再感染者分别为89%,82%,82%,Log-rank检验显示HBV再感染对患者长期存活率无明显影响(P=0.828).经COX多因素回归分析表明,原发病为原发性肝癌(P=0.035)、HBVDNA定量>5 log10拷贝/ml(P<0.001)是发生HBV再感染的危险因素.进一步分层分析显示,原发性肝癌复发后HBV再感染发生率显著高于未复发者,分别为27.9%和8.7%(P=0.001).结论 原发病为原发性肝癌及术前HBV DNA>5 log10拷贝/ml是影响HBV再感染的高危因素.在核苷类似物联合HBIG预防方案的干预下,HBV再感染对预后影响不大.     

Posttransplantation Hepatitis B Prophylaxis with Combination Oral Nucleoside and Nucleotide Analog Therapy

Liver transplant recipients are at risk of developing recurrent hepatitis B after liver transplantation for hepatitis B virus (HBV)‐related liver disease. We evaluated the efficacy of a new hepatitis B prophylaxis regimen involving conversion from at least 12 months of HBIg with lamivudine to combination therapy with an oral nucleoside and nucleotide analog. Between June 2008 and May 2010, a total of 61 liver transplant recipients were converted to a combination of a nucleoside and nucleotide analog. The mean (±standard deviation) follow‐up time after conversion was 15.0 (±6.1) months. Recurrent HBV occurred in two (3.3%) patients at 3.1 and 16.6 months after HBIg cessation. The overall person time incidence rate for HBV recurrence after HBIg cessation was 2.7 cases per 100 person‐years. The estimate of HBV recurrence was 1.7% at 1 year after HBIg cessation. HBIg cessation a minimum of 12 months after liver transplantation with subsequent combination therapy with a nucleoside and nucleotide analog provides effective prophylaxis against recurrent HBV infection. The clinical implications of HBsAg detection without clinical, biochemical or molecular manifestations of recurrent hepatitis B require further study.     

Prophylaxis of recurrent hepatitis B virus by vaccination after liver transplant: preliminary results

Liver transplantation for chronic HBV-induced cirrhosis is associated with a high rate of recurrence and poor long-term survival. Prolonged and combined prophylaxis with hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIg) and lamivudine has been demonstrated to prevent HBV recurrence, but its lifelong administration is highly expensive. An alternative strategy may be the use of an HBV vaccine after liver transplantation. Herein we report the results of administration of a reinforced recombinant HBV vaccine to liver transplant recipients. Twelve patients transplanted for HBV-related liver disease and treated with HBIg for at least 24 months were administered HBV vaccine (40 microg administered intramuscularly and repeated 1 and 2 months thereafter) 2 months after beginning the last HBIg dose. The response rate to HBV vaccination was 75% (9/12 patients). Serum titers of anti-HBs were considered to be protective when they reached levels >10 IU/L. Responding patients were followed for a median of 43+/-22.5 months; during this period none of the responders showed evidence of HBV recurrence. These results suggest that vaccine administration after liver transplant may avoid HBV recurrence allowing HBIg withdrawal. However, future studies are necessary to define an optimal schedule.     

Adherence to Lamivudine after an early withdrawal of hepatitis B immune globulin plays an important role in the long-term prevention of hepatitis B virus recurrence

Lamivudine combined with hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIg) is the standard of care for preventing the recurrence hepatitis B virus after liver transplant. To determine the risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) recurrence after early withdrawal of HBIg in patients receiving lamivudine maintenance therapy, 20 patients receiving a course of HBIg and lamivudine after transplantation and long-term maintenance therapy with lamivudine and 9 patients receiving HBIg and lamivudine indefinitely were analyzed. The survival rate was 90% after a mean follow-up of 83 months. The HBV recurrence rate was 14% with a mean period of 91 months free from HBV recurrence. Both groups had similar HBV recurrence rates, 15% for the combination and 11% for lamivudine alone. Four patients, 3 of whom were noncompliant with therapy, experienced posttransplant HBV recurrence. Patients who adhere to long-term prophylaxis with lamivudine after early withdrawal of HBIg have a low risk of HBV recurrence, similar to those who receive combination prophylaxis.

目的分析肝移植术后乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）再感染患者的抗病毒治疗与乙肝病毒基因变异情况。方法317例HBV相关终末期肝病患者肝移植术后15例单独使用LAM，302例使用小剂量乙肝免疫球蛋白（hepatitis B immune globulin，HBIG）和拉米夫定（lamivudine，LAM）（或adefovir dipivoxil，ADV）联合预防HBV再感染，同时检测HBV血清标志物、血清HBV DNA、YMDD区变异、及肝活检组织乙型肝炎标记物。结果术后LAM组有4例术前HBV DNA阳性患者术后HBV再感染，LAM＋HBIG联合用药组16例HBV再感染，两组术后HBV再感染差异有统计学意义（26．7％VS．5．30％，P〈0．01）。317例患者术后12例发生YMDD变异，发生率为3．79％，再感染病例60％（12／20）。经加用ADV治疗后5例HBV DNA转阴性，4名患者HBV DNA滴度下降，肝功能显著改善，3例发生纤维淤胆性肝炎，2例死亡，1例经再次肝移植治愈。结论小剂量HBIG＋LAM可以有效地预防肝移植术后HBV再感染；在小剂量HBIG＋LAM用药基础上HBV再感染可能产生YMDD（tyrosine，methionine，aspartate，aspartate）变异；ADV可作为LAM耐药后用药，对于发生突破性感染的患者应采取以ADV为主的综合治疗。     

Viral persistence after liver transplantation for hepatitis B virus: a cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND: Prophylaxis to prevent recurrent HBV infection in liver transplant (LT) recipients has evolved over time, and we manage patients who receive lamivudine monoprophylaxis, lamivudine with HBV immunoglobulin (HBIg), and lamivudine and adefovir with HBIg. METHODS: Serum was examined with sensitive assays to detect the persistence of HBV, and to identify mutations that might confer resistance to the antiviral prophylaxis. Forty patients were studied, and sera were collected 20 days to 13.3 years after LT. RESULTS: Overall, HBV DNA was detected in serum of 67.5% of patients (8 of 10 of lamivudine monoprophylaxis patients, 15 of 24 of those receiving lamivudine and HBIg, and 4 of 6 of those receiving lamivudine, adefovir and HBIg). Thus, HBV infection persists for most of the patients despite successful prophylaxis after LT. Of those patients with detectable serum HBV DNA, three of eight of the lamivudine monoprophylaxis group had sequences associated with resistance to lamivudine (YMDD mutants), compared with only 1 of 15 of the lamivudine and HBIg cohort. Three of the lamivudine and HBIg cohort had the I126A Hepatitis B surface antigen escape variant. In those serum HBV DNA-positive patients who were receiving lamivudine, adefovir, and HBIg, only one of four had YMDD mutant, and none had Hepatitis B surface antigen escape variants. None of the 40 patients suffered clinical HBV recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Our observations imply that the selection of resistant virus may be essential, but is not sufficient to cause overt failure of prophylaxis with development of clinical disease. It seems likely that the patients' immune response contributes, at least partially, to the long-term control of infection in these patients.     

肝移植术后预防乙型肝炎病毒再感染的策略

目的探讨预防肝移植术后乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）再感染的综合策略.方法对术前存在HBV感染的130例肝移植患者进行前瞻性研究,采用肌肉注射剂型乙型肝炎免疫球蛋白（IMHBIg）联合口服拉米夫定（lamivudine）作为预防术后HBV再感染的治疗方案;术后监测HBV再感染的情况.结果在130例患者中,128例术后HBsAg转为阴性,检测血清HBsAb呈阳性.平均随访12.2个月,8例出现HBV再感染,再感染率为6.3%;术前HBeAg阳性者再感染率为14.3%,阴性者4.0%,两组间差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）;术后第一天HBsAg阳性者再感染率为21.1%,阴性者3.7%,两组间差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）.结论拉米夫定联合肌肉注射剂型的人乙型肝炎免疫球蛋白可有效预防肝移植术后HBV再感染;术前血清HBeAg阳性以及术后第一天HBsAg者是术后HBV复发的高危因素.     

Response to an experimental HBV vaccine permits withdrawal of HBIg prophylaxis in fulminant and selected chronic HBV-infected liver graft recipients.

Strategies using lamivudine and hepatitis B immunoglobulins (HBIg) for prevention of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reinfection after liver transplantation (LT) are expensive since life-long treatment is needed. We evaluated the possibility to obtain protective hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) antibody (anti-HBs) titers after LT and to discontinue HBIg prophylaxis after a reinforced course of vaccination against HBV using an experimental adjuvant HBsAg / AS04 vaccine (GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals [GSK], Rixensart, Belgium) in patients transplanted for hepatitis B. Fifteen LT patients on stable low-level immunosuppression were vaccinated with a double dose of the vaccine at 0, 1, 2, 6, and 12 months: 5 patients were transplanted for nonviral diseases and 10 patients were transplanted for HBV on HBIg monotherapy. HBIg were continued during baseline vaccination (0, 1, and 2 months) and when anti-HBs titers determined every 6 weeks dropped below 150 IU/L. Overall follow-up was 18 months. Sustained long-term response to vaccination was defined as anti-HBs titers >500 IU/L without further need for HBIg administration during a follow-up period of at least 12 months. Overall sustained response to vaccination was 53% (8 / 15 patients); 80% (4 / 5 patients) in the nonviral disease group and 40% (4 / 10 patients) in the HBV group (2 /2 fulminant and 2/8 chronically infected patients) developed a sustained long-term response and were completely free of HBIg at the end of the 18-month follow-up. No HBV recurrence, rejection episodes, or side effects occurred during the follow-up. In conclusion, protective anti-HBs titers were obtained in a substantial number of LT patients following a reinforced course of HBV vaccination with vaccines containing new immunostimulating adjuvants. Vaccination seems well tolerated and safe and allows long-term discontinuation of HBIg.
