Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the changes of liver function of woman with higher quantities of antepartum serum HBV who took telbivudine during pregnancy or not and the different withdraw times after delivery.

Methods

Total of 626 HBeAg positive pregnant patients with high viral load of HBV DNA were collected in Beijing Ditan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2012 to December 2013. They were divided into two groups: telbivudine treatment group (LdT group, 267 cases) and without antiviral drug group (control group, 359 cases). The levels of serum HBV DNA and the change of liver function were analyzed between women who took telbivudine during pregnancy or not and the different withdraw times after delivery.

Results

The HBV DNA levels in LdT group significantly decreased than that of control group (t = 55.2413, P = 0.0000). The amount of pregnant women with HBV DNA < 500 copies/ml in LdT group was more than those in the control group (χ2 = 49.5180, P = 0.0000). There was no significant difference between the two groups at liver function in the first 6 months after delivery (Z =-0.021, P = 0.9836). The cases with ALT > 2 × ULN of postpartum in control group were more than those in the LdT group (χ2 = 9.1562, P = 0.002). The levels of ALT were higher in women who suspended telbivudine 0-29 days after delivery than those suspended telbivudine more than 30 days after delivery. The number of postpartum women with > 2 × ULN in women who suspended telbivudine 0-29 days after delivery were more than the postpartum women who suspended telbivudine for more than 30 days.

Conclusions

Telbivudine presents an enhanced effect of preventing mother-infant transmission of hepatitis B virus infection during the third pregnancy stage. With the decreasing of HBV DNA level, telbivudine would not attribute to the risk of ALT increasing, while the withdraw in the early stage might relate to higher ALT level.
