Abstract:
Objective To analyze the efficacy and prognosis of different antiviral agents on compensated hepatitis B cirrhosis.Methods Eight hundred and sixty-five cases of Hepatitis B patients with compensated cirrhosis were randomly divided into five groups:A group(n =143,subcutaneous injection interferon 3 million U every other day for 48 weeks),B group(n =171,orally treatment with lamivudine 100 mg/d for 48weeks),C group(n =137,orally treatment with adefovir 10 mg/d for 48 weeks),D group(n =83,oral treatment with entecavir O.5 mg/d,for 48 weeks) and E group(n =331,treated with general hepatoprotective drugs).Clinical symptoms and signs,changes in liver function were observed and prothrombin time activity degrees (PTA),quantitative HBV-DNA,HBeAg seroconversion and HBeAg/HBeAb conversion situation were detected.Results There were significant differences on HBeAg seroconversion between A group and other four groups after treated for48 weeks(31.5% vs 13.5%,22.6%,18.1%,5.7%,x2 =58.56,P <0.01) and at the end of follow up (33.1% vs 14.2%,23.3 %,23.6%,6.4%,x2 =52.87,P < 0.01).Patients' condition in A,B,C,D groups progressed slowly,and their incidence rates of decompensate cirrhosis were significantly lower than that in group E(x2 =122.41,P < 0.01).The incidence rate of liver cancer in group A was significantly lower than that in B,C,D,E groups (x2 =19.61,P < 0.01).Conclusion Antiviral therapy of interferon and nucleoside drugs can slow the progression of compensated Hepatitis B cirrhosis and reduce the incidence rates of decompensate cirrhosis.And interferon can significantly reduce the incidence rate of liver cancer.
