Résumé

Nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) treatment for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may improve clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH). Data on hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and non-invasive tests (NITs) for risk re-stratification in virally suppressed HBV-infected patients with pre-treatment CSPH are limited. We retrospectively included patients with long-term (>12 months) suppression of HBV replication and pre-treatment CSPH (i.e., varices, collaterals on cross-sectional imaging, or ascites). Patients were monitored by on-treatment liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and HVPG assessment. The primary outcome was (further) hepatic decompensation (including liver-related mortality). Forty-two patients ( Patients with HBV-induced CSPH who achieved long-term viral suppression were protected from decompensation, if LSM was <25 kPa. LSM ≥ 25 kPa indicates a persisting risk for decompensation, despite long-term HBV suppression.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Nucleos(t)ide analog (NA) treatment for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may improve clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH). Data on hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and non-invasive tests (NITs) for risk re-stratification in virally suppressed HBV-infected patients with pre-treatment CSPH are limited.
METHODS METHODS
We retrospectively included patients with long-term (>12 months) suppression of HBV replication and pre-treatment CSPH (i.e., varices, collaterals on cross-sectional imaging, or ascites). Patients were monitored by on-treatment liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and HVPG assessment. The primary outcome was (further) hepatic decompensation (including liver-related mortality).
RESULTS RESULTS
Forty-two patients (
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Patients with HBV-induced CSPH who achieved long-term viral suppression were protected from decompensation, if LSM was <25 kPa. LSM ≥ 25 kPa indicates a persisting risk for decompensation, despite long-term HBV suppression.
