Abstract

Objective: To assess the grade of underlying liver disease in incidentally detected asymptomatic HBsAg positive subjects (IDAHS). Materials and Methods: We examined 267 IDAHS (preoperative, pregnancy, blood donor, family and premarital screenings, check-up.. ). The patients whose HBsAg positivity and biochemical parameters studied together were excluded. Clinical, biochemical, virological and histological assessments were performed. Results: One hundred and ninety two (71.9%) of the patients were male and 75(28.1%) of them were female. Two hundred and forty five (92.1%) subjects were HBeAg negative and 21 (7.9%) were HBeAg positive. HBV-DNA levels were <2000 IU/ml in 57.3% of the patients whereas 42.7% of them had a HBV-DNA level of &#8805;2000 IU/mL. Thirty four of 49 patients having biopsy had significant fibrosis (F&#8805;2) and 11 of patients had a histological activity index of &#8805;8. Taking into account all patients with and without biopsy 37 of them took diagnosis of therapy indicated chronic hepatitis B (8 of them were cirrhosis). One hundred and fifty eight (59,1%) and seven patients were diagnosed as inactive carriers and immuntolerant respectively. One of the cirrhotic patients had hepatocellular carcinoma. Forty six cases who were diagnosed neither as CHB nor as inactive carrier (with HBV-DNA level &#8805;2000 IU/ml and normal ALT) were planned to be followed up. Conclusion: Taking into account the heterogenicity and distribution of the patients having biopsy according to their ALT and HBV-DNA levels; if we could have made biopsy for all of the 113 patients (55 with biopsy, 58 without biopsy) at least a quarter of patients could have taken diagnosis of CHB and more than half of the patients could be categorized as inactive carrier.

Özet

Amaç: Rastlantısal olarak HBsAg pozitifliği saptanan hastalarda karaciğer hastalığının irdelenmesi. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Rastlantısal olarak HBsAg pozitifliği saptanan (kan bağışı, ameliyat öncesi, evlilik öncesi, check up, aile taraması, gebelik, iş yeri ve spor merkezlerine başvuru vb.) 267 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. HBsAg pozitifliği ile birlikte biyokimyasal değerlendirme yapılarak başvuran hastalar çalışmaya alınmadı. Hastalar biyokimyasal, serolojik test sonuçları, histopatolojik ve klinik bulgularıyla birlikte değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların 192 (%71,9)’si erkek, 75 (%28,1)’i kadındı. İki yüz kırk beş (%92,1) hasta HBeAg negatifken, 21(%7,9) hasta HBeAg pozitifti. Hastaların 153 (%57,3)’ünde HBV-DNA ≤2000 IU/ml iken 114 (%42,7)’ünde HBV-DNA >2000 IU/ml idi. Elli beş hastaya karaciğer biyopsisi yapıldı. Bu hastaların 34’ünde fibroz skoru ≥2, 11’inde HAİ ≥8 idi. Biyopsi yapılan ve yapılamayan tüm hastalar değerlendirildiğinde sekizi siroz olmak üzere toplam 37 (30’u HBeAg negatif, 7’si HBeAg pozitif) hasta tedavi endikasyonu olan kronik hepatit B (KHB), yedi hasta immuntoleran dönemde KHB, 158 (%59,1) hasta ise inaktif taşıyıcı tanısı aldı. Sirotik hastalardan birinde hepatosellüler kanser (HSK) saptandı. Sonuç: Biyopsi yapılan hastaların ALT ve HBV-DNA değerleri göz önüne alındığında heterojen bir grup olduğu söylenebilir. Bunlar göz önüne alındığında biyopsi yapılamamış 58 hastaya da biyopsi yapılsaydı, biyopsi yapılan 55 hasta ile birlikte değerlendirildiğinde hastaların yarısından fazlasının inaktif taşıyıcı, en az 1/4’ünün KHB tanısı alacağı düşünülebilir.
