Even though in patients with no activation findings and which have low HBV DNA level ( ≤ 2000 IU / mL) and negative HBeAg but high ALT and/or AST levels, clinicians must be warned about HDV infection which could be added to HBV infection.

Abstract

Objective: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis D which is a defective virus (HDV) are important factors involved in the etiology of chronic liver infections, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. In this study we aimed to investigate frequency of seropositivity of HBsAg and anti-HDV seropositivity in this group. Materials and Methods: Serums sended to our laboratory between 2010 and 2013 for evaluation of HBsAg and anti-HDV were included in the study. HBsAg was studied with a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) in Architect i1000 and i2000SR (Abbot,Germany) analyzers. Anti-HDV was studied with enzyme immunassay method with HDV Ab kit (dia pro diagnostic, Italy). Results: Of the 202 704 patients evaluated for HBsAg, 9786 (4.8%) were found positive and 88 (4.2%) of these HBsAg positive patients were positive for anti- HDV. Recurrent studies performed for the same patient have not been evaluated. HBsAg results of 3 anti-HDV positive patients, turned to negative during follow up. Twenty five (28.4%) of the anti-HDV positive patients were female.When analysed for age distribution, most of the patients were in the 35-65 years age range. Primary diseases were chronic B hepatitis in 74 (84.1%), cirrhosis in 9 (10.2%) and hepatocellular carcinoma in 5 (5.7%) of anti-HDV positive patients. Anti-HBe antibodies were found positive in 35 of 39 patients who had HBV DNA levels ≤2000 IU/ml and negative HBe antigen instead of high ALT and/or AST levels. Conclusion: HBsAg seropositivity rate in our study group was 4.8% and anti-HDV seropositivity was 4.2% in this HBsAg seropositive patients. Even though in patients with no activation findings and which have low HBV DNA level ( ≤ 2000 IU / mL) and negative HBeAg but high ALT and/or AST levels, clinicians must be warned about HDV infection which could be added to HBV infection.

Özet

Amaç: Hepatit B virüsü (HBV) ve defektif bir virüs olan Hepatit D (HDV) kronik karaciğer enfeksiyonları, siroz ve hepatoselüler kanser etiyolojisinde rol oynayan önemli etkenlerdir. Bu çalışmada HBsAg seropozitifliği ve HBsAg seropozitif hastalarda anti-HDV seropozitifliklerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada 2010-2013 arasında laboratuvarımıza HBsAg ve anti-HDV çalışılmak üzere gönderilen serumlar incelendi. HBsAg CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay) yöntemi ile Architect SR i1000 ve i2000 (Abbott, Almanya) cihazlarıyla çalışıldı. Anti-HDV ise Enzim İmmün Assay (EIA) yöntemiyle HDV Ab kiti (Dia.pro Diagnostic, İtalya) ile çalışıldı. Bulgular: Toplam 202 704 hastadan HBsAg tetkiki istenmiş olup 9786 hastada pozitif (%4,8) sonuç elde edilmiştir. HBsAg pozitif 9786 hastadan 2119 tanesine anti-HDV tetkiki istenmiş olup 88 hastada pozitif (%4,2) sonuç elde edilmiştir, aynı hastaya ait tekrarlayan sonuçlar değerlendirilmemiştir. Anti-HDV pozitif olarak tespit edilen hastaların takipleri süresince 3 hastada (%3,8) HBsAg’de negatifleşme görülmüştür. Anti- HDV pozitif hastaların cinsiyete göre dağılımı incelendiğinde 25 tanesinin (%28,4) kadınlardan oluştuğu, yaşa göre dağılımı incelendiğinde ise 35-65 yaş aralığında daha sık görüldüğü tespit edilmiştir. Anti-HDV pozitif hastaların primer hastalıkları incelendiğinde 74 tanesinin (%84,1) kronik hepatit B (inaktif HBsAg taşıyıcısı veya kronik aktif hepatit), 9 tanesinin (%10,2) siroz ve 5 tanesinin (%5,7) hepatoselüler kanser tanısı aldığı görülmüştür. HBV DNA seviyesi ≤2000 IU/ml veya negatif olup ALT ve/veya AST’si yüksek olan 39 hastanın 35 tanesinde (%89,7) HBeAg negatif, Anti-HBe pozitif olarak tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç: Çalışma grubumuzda %4,8 HBsAg seropozitifliği ve HBsAg seropozitif hastalarda %4,2 anti-HDV seropozitifliği tespit edilmiştir. HBV DNA seviyesinin ≤2000 IU/ml ve HBeAg negatifliği gibi aktivasyon bulgularının olmamasına rağmen ALT ve/veya AST’sinin yüksek olması klinisyenleri HBV enfeksiyonuna HDV enfeksiyonu eklenmiş olabileceği konusunda uyarmalıdır.
