Relationship between nephrotoxicity and long-term adefovir dipivoxil therapy for chronic hepatitis B: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To assess the relationship between adefovir dipivoxil and renal function after anti-hepatitis B virus therapy and elucidate the risk factors involved.

Methods

Based on the requirements of the Cochrane systematic review methodology, 21 observational articles on adefovir dipivoxil-associated renal dysfunction were obtained by searching various databases, between January 1, 1995 and July 1, 2016. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate risk bias. Parameters for 4276 chronic hepatitis B patients were analyzed by Review Manager and R software, and glomerular filtration rate, creatinine clearance, and serum creatinine values were extracted to evaluate renal function.

Results

Renal dysfunction was more likely to occur in patients receiving the adefovir dipivoxil therapy (odds ratio [OR] 1.98, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.40-2.80) than the none-adefovir dipivoxil group. Subgroup analysis showed that renal function predictive value is higher for glomerular filtration rate (OR 2.42, 95% CI 1.34-3.14), compared with serum creatinine levels (OR 1.51, 95% CI 0.75-3.04). The rate of adefovir dipivoxil-associated renal dysfunction was 12% (95% CI 0.08-0.16). Older patients and patients with renal insufficiency, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus were more prone to developing adefovir dipivoxil-associated renal dysfunction; however, integrated raw data were insufficient for further detailed analysis.

Conclusion

Long-term adefovir dipivoxil therapy is connected to renal dysfunction in chronic hepatitis B, necessitating the monitoring of kidney function.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Progressive bone pain and fracture and abnormal positron emission tomography combined with a computed tomography are main reasons for the oncologists suspecting bone tumor. During the patient's medical treatment, the oncologists' unfamiliarity with adverse reactions to anti-HBV drugs were main reason for the long-term exposure to the drug and the adverse reaction (ADR) experienced by the patient. CASE PRESENTATION:A 63-year-old Chinese man had a 27-month history of progressive generalized bone pain combined with spontaneous fractures. Positron emission tomography combined with a computed tomography, revealed an abnormal increase in ribose metabolism and low positron serum inorganic phosphorus concentration (0.7; 0.78-1.65?mmol/L). Serum creatinine level was 252??mol/L (53-97) ?mol/L, and glomerular filtration rate was 22.79?mL/min/1.73?m2. The patient was referred to a multidisciplinary clinic to clarify the diagnosis of myeloma or bone tumor for further treatment in 2017. His medical history revealed that he had a 30-year history of chronic hepatitis B infection. He had received lamivudine at a daily dose of 100?mg for 19?years (1990 to 2009), which had been changed to adefovir (10?mg/day) owing to lamivudine resistance in 2009. Based on the changes in the patient's laboratory markers and the results of emission computed tomography and other radiographic findings, adefovir-induced hypophosphatemic osteomalacia due to acquired renal Fanconi syndrome was suspected by the clinical pharmacist. Considerable clinical improvement was observed after adefovir discontinuation and the administration of entecavir (1.0?mg, every other day). CONCLUSION:Fanconi syndrome with osteomalacia can develop in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection being treated with adefovir at a conventional low dosage of 10?mg/day. This case highlights the importance of ADR as a differential diagnosis and the need of pharmacists with drug safety expertise expert in the patient management.

Project description:PURPOSE: This study aimed to clarify the long-term efficacy of the lamivudine treatment in Japanese patients with chronic hepatitis B either with or without lamivudine resistance or with or without adefovir add-on treatment. METHODS: We followed 110 patients who received lamivudine for more than 12 months, including 67 hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive and 43 HBeAg-negative patients. RESULTS: The median follow-up after the onset of lamivudine was 48 (range = 12-86) months. In all the patients with or without lamivudine resistance, the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) normalization decreased from 70.0% at 1 year to 36.4% at 5 years and the loss of serum HBV DNA level decreased from 72.7% at 1 year to 31.8% at 5 years. Sixty patients (54.6%) developed a lamivudine-resistant mutation, and this occurrence was more frequently observed in those who were HBeAg-positive (P < 0.01), those with a low level of ALT (P < 0.05), and those with a high level of serum HBV DNA (P < 0.01). Thirty-six of 60 patients received adefovir in addition to lamivudine to treat breakthrough hepatitis. A Cox proportional hazards model analysis revealed the level of baseline HBV DNA to be the best predictive factor for the virus recrudescence (risk ratio = 0.466, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.246-0.842, P = 0.011) and the breakthrough hepatitis (risk ratio = 0.444, 95% CI: 0.218-0.879, P = 0.019). We carefully monitored the efficacy of this treatment both in patients who received adefovir and in those who did not since the beginning of the lamivudine treatment. The normalization level of ALT was 61.4% at 5 years and the loss of serum HBV DNA was 61.4% at 5 years since lamivudine was started. A histologic improvement was observed in patients with ALT levels less than two times the upper limit of normal at the time of a second liver biopsy. CONCLUSIONS: Although the efficacy of lamivudine is limited because of breakthrough hepatitis, adefovir was used as a salvage treatment of patients with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B. In addition, lamivudine was used for the treatment of Japanese patients with chronic hepatitis B with or without lamivudine resistance, and was found to be useful regarding the long-term virologic and biochemical responses.
