Background: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global
disease with the majority from Asian-Pacific regions. It is unclear if
HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) loss alone correlates well with undetectable
virus, normalization of alanine aminotrasferase (ALT) on
treatment, future development of anti-HBs, nor is the risk of seroreversion
or detectable virus after stopping therapy well defined.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 958 chronic HBV adults on
oral antiviral therapy at a community gastroenterology clinic from
1997–2015. 99.6 % were Asian ethnicity. Rates of HBsAg loss, ALT
normalization, achieving undetectable virus, and developing surface
antibody (anti-HBs) were stratified by HBeAg status. Following
HBsAg loss, rates of HBsAg seroreversion and/or re-emergence of
detectable virus were analyzed.
Results: With a mean 86.6 months follow-up and mean treatment
duration of 81.2 months, overall HBsAg loss was 4.91 % (n = 47),
with similar rates between HBeAg positive (4.43 %) and negative
patients (5.14 %), p = 0.63. Among HBsAg loss patients, 31.8 %
developed anti-HBs, 97.9 % achieved undetectable virus, 66.0 %
normalized ALT. 19 patients had both HBsAg and anti-HBs positivity.
2.1 %(n = 1) who achieved HBsAg loss had detectable virus, whereas
12.8 % (n = 6) of HBsAg loss patients seroreverted with positive
HBsAg within 1–17 months. All 6 patients who seroreverted had sustained
undetectable virus, and 1/6 had positive anti-HBs prior to
seroreversion. Anti-HBs status did not predict HBsAg seroreversion.
Conclusion: Among this Asian patient population, treatment of
chronic HBV achieved 4.91 % HBsAg loss. While 12.8 % of patients
experienced seroreversion, all maintained undetectable virus,
demonstrating the sustainability of HBsAg loss in most patients and
stable suppression of HBV virus.
