Lamivudine without HBIg for prevention of graft reinfection by hepatitis B: long-term follow-up

BACKGROUND: This open, multicenter study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lamivudine prophylaxis given to chronic hepatitis B virus-(HBV) infected patients before and after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). We now present long-term data that follow our previous short-term report. METHODS: Twenty-three patients were treated with lamivudine (100 mg orally, daily); 13 (57%), were serum HBV DNA positive (Abbott Genostics, Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, IL) at study entry. Patients received lamivudine for at least 4 weeks before OLT, and for up to 50 months (median 25 months) after OLT. RESULTS: Of the 23 treated patients, 17 survived to undergo OLT. Eleven patients (65%) survived up to 4 years (median 36 months) after OLT. One of the survivors stopped lamivudine because of a possible adverse reaction 9 months post-OLT, and prophylaxis with HBV immune globulin was then established. Ten survivors continue lamivudine. Eight long-term survivors have normal liver function without evidence of HBV reinfection. Of the 17 transplanted patients, 6 died. Four patients died (3 days to 5 months post-OLT) without evidence of graft reinfection. Two further patients died at 19 and 23 months post-OLT from graft failure. Both patients had YMDD variant detected at 12 months post-OLT. Two other patients with YMDD-variant HBV remain alive on lamivudine, 9 and 15 months after development of the variant. CONCLUSIONS: Lamivudine, given before and after OLT, prevents significant graft reinfection for the majority of treated patients. The study has also shown that lamivudine is extremely well tolerated by liver failure patients and for a prolonged period after transplantation.     

Outcome of renal transplantation in hepatitis B surface antigen-positive patients after introduction of lamivudine.

BACKGROUND: In end-stage renal disease patients with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), the risk of hepatic dysfunction after immunosuppression represents a large barrier in renal transplantation. Lamivudine is a potent inhibitor of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication. We retrospectively investigated the outcome of HBsAg-positive renal transplantation recipients after lamivudine had become available. METHODS: From July 1994 to August 2000, seventeen HBsAg-positive patients (M:F=15:2) received renal allografts (13:4=living:cadaveric donors). Liver function tests at the time of transplantation were normal in all patients. Pre-transplant liver biopsies performed in 15 patients demonstrated minimal inflammatory histology, except in three patients showing pathological and clinical signs of active hepatitis. Lamivudine was started pre-operatively in these three subjects. Another seven patients were treated with lamivudine for post-operative hepatic dysfunction. The remaining seven patients did not develop hepatic dysfunction after transplantation. RESULTS: Lamivudine was initially effective in decreasing serum HBV DNA titres, and in normalizing hepatic enzymes. Lamivudine was well tolerated without significant side effects for 35.5+/-8.9 months after initiation of treatment. HBV DNA became negative in nine patients but remained positive in one patient. Among the nine patients with initial negative conversion of HBV DNA, two developed transient positive conversion of HBV DNA and two demonstrated persistent positive conversion. Among the patients with normal liver histology in the pre-transplant period, 41.6% (5/12) developed liver pathology progression after immunosuppression. All 17 patients had functioning grafts, except for one patient who developed relapsed IgA nephropathy. CONCLUSIONS: Our data showed relatively favourable outcomes in hepatitis B-positive renal transplant recipients receiving lamivudine treatment, even though two patients developed lamivudine resistance.     

Hepatitis B Prophylaxis Using Lamivudine and Individualized Low-dose Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin in Living Donor Liver Transplantation

Background

Currently, most available experience concerning prophylaxis against hepatitis B virus (HBV) recurrence after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is limited to studies of small size and short follow-up. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a prophylactic regimen using lamivudine and individualized low-dose intramuscular hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) in LDLT.

Methods

We used a database of adult-to-adult right-lobe LDLT procedures performed from June 2002 to April 2012 at our center for HBV-related end-stage liver diseases. Patients were divided into 3 groups: group A, HBV-related decompensated liver cirrhosis; group B, fulminant hepatitis B; and group C, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Results

During a mean follow-up of 38.3 ± 28.9 months, 8 of 165 (4.8%) recipients developed HBV recurrences. The mean time for HBV reinfection was 15.8 + 11.0 months after transplantation. The overall 1-, 3-, and 5-year HBV recurrence rates were 3%, 7%, and 8.2%, respectively. Both patients with fulminant hepatitis B or HCC seemed to have higher rates of HBV recurrence than those with decompensated liver cirrhosis, albeit not significantly. The independent predictor of HBV recurrence was high HBV DNA level (≥10⁵ copies/mL) at LDLT.

Conclusions

Lamivudine and individualized low-dose intramuscular HBIG provides effective prophylaxis against HBV recurrence after LDLT. Pre-LDLT HBV DNA of ≥ 10⁵ copies/mL was associated with HBV recurrence.     

原位肝移植术后乙型肝炎病毒再感染的相关因素分析

目的 分析原位肝移植（OLT）术后HBV再感染的相关因素,评价联合应用乙型肝炎免疫球蛋白（HBIG）和核苷（酸）类似物预防HBV再感染的疗效.方法 收集2003年10月-2007年8月在中山大学附属第三医院行OLT治疗的160例HBV相关性终末期肝病患者,117例患者术前服用核苷（酸）类似物.所有患者术后长期肌肉注射HBIG,并联合服用核苷（酸）类似物,采用回顾性调查方法分析患者术前资料,并前瞻性长期随访OLT术后HBV再感染情况.正态分布计量资料2组间的比较采用独立样本t检验;组间率的比较采用Fisher＇s精确概率检验,P〈0.05表示差异具有统计学意义.结果 160例患者中,19例患者出现HBV再感染,再感染率为11.88%（19/160）.患者术前HBV DNA载量、HBeAg状态及抗病毒治疗时间与OLT术后HBV再感染之间无显著相关性（r值分别为0.108、0.127和0.033,P值均〉0.05）.19例HBV再感染患者中有17例是长期使用拉米夫定治疗的患者,其中8例酪氨酸-蛋氨酸-天门冬氨酸-天门冬氨酸（YMDD）变异株阳性,其HBV DNA载量为（7.0±2.0）log拷贝/mL,而YMDD变异阴性组为（3.2±2.5）log拷贝/mL,2组比较差异有统计学意义（t=3.531,P=0.003）.17例长期服用拉米夫定治疗的患者中,12例加用阿德福韦酯,3例改用恩替卡韦,均获得满意疗效.结论 OLT术后长期小剂量肌肉注射HBIG,并联合核苷（酸）类似物可有效预防HBV再感染.OLT术后使用拉米夫定易出现YMDD变异,而YMDD变异是HBV再感染的重要因素,临床上要予以重视.     

Emergency living related liver transplantation for fulminant reactivation of hepatitis B virus after unrelated marrow transplantation

We report a unique case of emergency living related donor orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) for late fulminant reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) after matched unrelated bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Cessation of lamivudine after BMT for HBV positive patients may carry risks of late fatal HBV reactivation. Similar to fulminant HBV reactivation in the general population, OLT under resumption of lamivudine can be life saving. In our case, concomitantly molecular relapse of CML at the time of liver failure was also cleared by OLT, possibly via a 'liver-graft vs. leukemia' effect. Liver rejection (graft vs. graft disease) was mild due to inherent immunocompromise of the marrow graft. Hence BMT recipients in stable remission should not be denied the opportunity for life-saving solid organ transplantation. A choice of marrow and liver donors with innate HBV immunity may be needed to give the additional advantage of long-term HBV clearance.     

Association of lamivudine resistance in recurrent hepatitis B after liver transplantation with advanced hepatic fibrosis.

BACKGROUND: Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is known to be associated with a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. Lamivudine, a nucleoside analogue, is a potent inhibitor of HBV replication, but it is associated with a 14-39% rate of resistance. METHODS: We report on four patients who underwent OLT for HBV infection. In all cases, the HBV infection recurred in the grafted liver and was treated with lamivudine (100 mg daily) on a compassionate-use basis. The patients were monitored closely for serum liver enzymes, hepatitis B surface antigen and HBV DNA (by hybridization). Liver biopsy was performed before and after lamivudine therapy. HBV DNA was amplified from serum for each patient and sequenced through a conserved polymerase domain, the tyrosine-methionine-aspartate-aspartate (YMDD) locus. RESULTS: All four patients exhibited lamivudine resistance 9-20 months after initiation of the drug. In all patients with a clinically mild disease, liver histology findings (12-24 months after lamivudine therapy) showed progressive fibrosis as compared to biopsies performed before lamivudine therapy, with a significant increase (> or =2 points) in the Knodell score in three patients. Moreover, two patients exhibited worsening of the necroinflammatory process. A mutation at the YMDD motif of the HBV polymerase gene was detected in all cases. CONCLUSIONS: Lamivudine resistance frequently occurs in patients with recurrent HBV infection after OLT and is associated with advanced hepatic fibrosis and necroinflammatory process. A combination of antiviral therapies may be necessary.
