Abstract: Objective. To observe the effect of chemotherapy on hepatic function of lymphoma patients with chronic HBV infection. Methods; We used ELISA to detect the serum markers, of HBV and liver function in 207 lymphoma patients and 207 patients with other types of cancer (except pdmary hepatocellular cacinoma). Results: The incidence of HBV infection was higher in lymphoma cancer cases than that in the controlled cases (19.8% vs 9.7%, P=0.004). The incidence of abnormal liver function was higher in lymphoma patients with positive HBsAg than in lymphoma patients without HBsAg (58.5% vs 27.7%, P=0.000). The incidence of ab-normal liver function in lymphoma patients with postive HBsAg was higher than that in patients with other types of cancer with positive HBsAg (58.5 vs 30.0%, P=0.036). The abnormal liver function in lymphoma patients after chemotherapy was associated with HBV infection (P=0.000) but not correlated with age, sex, histological subtype, immune subtype, stage, ECOG PS, and hormone administration. Conclusion: Lymphoma patients with HBV are more likely to have liver function damage after emotherapy.
