Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the factors associated
with the recurrence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) following liver
transplantation (LT) for HBV-related disease and to recognize the
outcome of treatment for HBV recurrence with oral nucleos(t)ide
analogues. Six hundred and sixty-seven LTs were performed for HBsAgpositive
adult patients in our institute from 1996 to 2010. HBV
prophylaxis was performed by hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG)
monotherapy or HBIG and entecavir combination therapy. There were
63 cases (11.4%) of HBV recurrences during a median follow-up of
51 months. The median time to HBV recurrence was 22 months. A
preoperative HBV DNA load of more than 105 IU/mL, HBIG
monotherapy, and hepatocellular carcinoma in the explant liver were
independent risk factors for HBV recurrence following LT in
multivariate analysis. Patient survival at 10 yr was 54.2% for HBVrecurrent
patients. Among patients with HBV recurrence, HBsAg
seroclearance was achieved in 13 patients (20.6%), but HBsAg
seroclearance did not affect survival in these patients after the recurrence
of HBV (p = 0.28). The recurrence of HBV led to graft failure in six
cases. HBV recurrence should be prevented by strict management of
pre-transplant HBV viremia and an effective post-transplant HBV
prophylaxis.
