Sexual Dimorphic Metabolic Alterations in Hepatitis C Virus-infected Patients: A Community-Based Study in a Hepatitis B/Hepatitis C Virus Hyperendemic Area.

ABSTRACT: The impact of sex on metabolic alterations in individuals with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains elusive.A community-based study was performed to assess sex, age, body mass index, the lipid profile, blood pressure, glucose, alanine aminotransferase, HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), and HCV antibody levels, smoking and alcohol drinking habits, and cardiometabolic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular events, and renal diseases. The HCV-RNA level and genotype were further assessed in HCV antibody-positive subjects, and the hepatitis B e antigen and HBV-DNA levels were further examined in HBsAg-positive subjects.Among the 10,959 adults enrolled, 1949 (17.8%) and 1536 (14.0%) were HBV and HCV-infected, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the lipid profile and hypertension were independently associated with HCV infection (95% confidence intervals of odds ratios [OR 95% CI]: total cholesterol [TC]?=?0.508-0.677; triglycerides?=?0.496-0.728; hypertension?=?0.669-0.937), but not with HBV infection. Consistently, HCV, but not HBV infection, was negatively associated with the TC and triglyceride levels (OR 95% CI for TC: 0.450-0.601; triglycerides: 0.443-0.671). Generalized linear models revealed that HCV infection, sex, and age interactively affected the lipid profile (OR 95% CI TC?=?1.189-1.385; triglycerides?=?1.172-5.289). Age-stratification analysis showed that the lipid levels were lower in both the HCV-positive females aged ?49 years (TC, P?

Project description:Sequential addition of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is often needed for patients coinfected with HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) who develop HBV resistance to lamivudine after combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) containing only lamivudine for HBV. We aimed to assess the virological response of HBV to add-on TDF in patients coinfected with lamivudine-resistant HBV.Between November 2010 and December 2014, 33 HIV/HBV-coinfected patients with lamivudine-resistant HBV and 56 with lamivudine-susceptible HBV were prospectively included. TDF plus lamivudine was used to substitute zidovudine or abacavir plus lamivudine contained in cART in patients with lamivudine-resistant HBV infection, while patients with lamivudine-susceptible HBV infection received TDF plus lamivudine as backbone of cART. Serial determinations of plasma HBV DNA load, HBV serologic markers, and liver and renal functions were performed after initiation of TDF-containing cART.Of 89 patients included, 38.6% tested positive for HBV envelope antigen (HBeAg) at baseline. The plasma HBV DNA level at enrollment of lamivudine-resistant and lamivudine-susceptible group were 6.1 ± 2.2 log10 and 6.0 ± 2.2 log10 copies/mL, respectively (p = 0.895). The cumulative percentage of HBV viral suppression in lamivudine-resistant and lamivudine-susceptible group was 81.8% and 91.1% at 48 weeks, respectively (p = 0.317), which increased to 86.7% and 96.2% at 96 weeks, respectively (p = 0.185). At 48 weeks, 11 patients testing HBeAg-positive at baseline failed to achieve viral suppression. In multivariate analysis, the only factor associated with failure to achieve viral suppression at 48 weeks was higher HBV DNA load at baseline (odds ratio, per 1-log10 copies/mL increase, 1.861; 95% CI, 1.204-2.878). At 48 weeks, HBeAg seroconversion was observed in 5 patients (1 in the lamivudine-resistant group and 4 in the lamivudine-susceptible group; p = 0.166). During the study period, HBsAg levels decreased over time, regardless of lamivudine resistance. Loss of HBsAg was observed in 3 (3.4%) patients in the lamivudine-susceptible group.Add-on TDF-containing cART in patients coinfected with lamivudine-resistant HBV achieved a similar rate of HBV viral suppression compared to TDF-containing cART as initial regimen in patients coinfected with lamivudine-susceptible HBV. A higher baseline HBV DNA load and HBeAg positivity were associated with failure to achieve HBV viral suppression.
