Abstract

Objective: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the association between HBV-DNA levels and biochemical parameters, age, gender, and hepatitis B virus (HBV) serologic markers. Materials and Methods: A total of 124 HBsAg (+) serum samples of the patients with chronic hepatitis B, were included in the study. HBV-DNA level, HBV serological markers, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartat transaminase, gama-glutamyl trans- ferase (GGT), lipase, bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase, and C-reactive protein levels in the samples were evaluated. HBV-DNA levels were quantitatively evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and serological markers were evaluated by ELISA. Results: With molecular testing, 116 samples were positive for HBV-DNA, of them 36.2% had an HBV-DNA level >2000 IU/mL. The number of samples with HBV-DNA levels >2000 IU/mL were higher in females than those of males. 44.4% of all HBeAg (+) patients with elevated ALT levels had an HBV-DNA level >2000 IU/ mL. All HBeAg (+) patients, 24.4% of HBeAg (-) patients, and 25.5% of anti-HBe (+) patients had elevated ALT levels. 99 of the 106 anti-HBe (+) carriers, of whom 27 had elevated ALT levels, were PCR positive. All HBeAg-positive samples were HBV- DNA positive. The rate of samples with elevated biochemical parameters except GGT levels were higher serian patients with HBV-DNA level >2000 IU/mL than in patients with HBV-DNA level <2000 IU/mL. A statistically significant relationship was detected only between lipase and HBV-DNA levels. Conclusion: It is clear that HBeAg seroconversion is not sufficiently definitive to determine the infectivity and it is crucial to evaluate HBV serological tests, HBV- DNA levels, transaminases levels besides the clinical picture of the patient in the diagnosis of the infection.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada hepatit B virüsü (HBV)-DNA düzeyleri ile biyokimyasal parametreler, yaş, cinsiyet, HBV serolojik göstergeleri arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, kronik hepatit B hastalarından alınan HBsAg (+) 124 serum örneği dâhil edilmiştir. Örneklerde HBV-DNA düzeyi, HBV serolojisi, alanin transaminaz (ALT), aspartat transaminaz, gama-glutamil transferaz (GGT), lipaz, bilirubin, laktat dehidrogenaz, C-reaktif protein düzeyleri incelenmiştir. HBV- DNA düzeyi gerçek zamanlı polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (PCR) ile serolojik belirteçler ise ELISA ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Moleküler inceleme sonucunda 116 örnekte HBV-DNA varlığı tespit edilmiş, bunların %36,2’sinin HBV-DNA düzeyinin 2000 IU/mL’nin üzerinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. HBV-DNA düzeyi 2000 IU/mL’nin üzerinde olan örnekler kadınlarda daha yüksek sıklıkta bulunmuştur. ALT düzeyinde artış saptanan HBeAg (+) hastaların %44,4’ünde HBV-DNA düzeyi 2000 IU/mL’nin üzerinde belirlenmiştir. ALT yüksekliği HBeAg (+) tüm hastalarda, HBeAg (-) olanların %24,4’ünde ve anti-HBe (+) hastaların %25,5’inde izlenmiştir. Yirmi yedisinde ALT artışı belirlenen 106 anti- HBe (+) hastasının 99’unda PCR pozitif olarak saptanmıştır. HBeAg pozitifliği izlenen tüm örneklerde HBV-DNA (+) olarak belirlenmiştir. GGT dışındaki tüm biyokimyasal parametrelerde yükseklik, HBV-DNA düzeyi 2000 IU/mL’nin üzerinde olan hastalarda 2000 IU/mL altındaki hastalara göre daha yüksek sıklıkta bulunmuştur. İstatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki sadece lipaz ile HBV-DNA düzeyi arasında belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Enfektivitenin tespitinde HBeAg serokonversiyonu tek başına yeterli değildir, yanı sıra HBV serolojik testleri, HBV-DNA düzeyleri ve transaminaz seviyeleri ile birlikte hastanın klinik durumunun da tanıda değerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir.
