  • 摘要:   目的  探讨使用高敏PCR在HBV极低病毒载量(HBV DNA 10~99 IU/mL)人群检测中的意义。  方法  选取2019年9月—2022年2月在广州医科大学附属第五医院接受核苷(酸)类似物(NAs)治疗≥48周且经普敏HBV DNA检测(检测下限100 IU/mL)结果为低于检测下限的慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)患者,进一步行高敏HBV DNA检测(检测下限10 IU/mL),根据结果分为极低病毒载量(VLVL,HBV DNA 10~99 IU/mL)组和完全病毒学应答(CVR,HBV DNA<10 IU/mL或未检测到)组。比较两组患者的一般特征、血清病毒学指标、生化学指标、无创肝纤维化指标,评价相关血清病毒学指标对高敏HBV DNA高于检测下限的预测价值,并探讨未实现CVR的影响因素。符合正态分布的计量资料两组间比较采用成组t检验;非正态分布的计量资料两组间比较采用Mann-Whitney U检验。计数资料两组间比较采用χ2检验或Fisher精确检验。采用受试者工作特征曲线(ROC曲线)评价相关血清病毒学指标对高敏HBV DNA高于检测下限的预测价值。采用二元Logistic回归分析探讨未实现CVR的影响因素。  结果  共纳入106例CHB患者,其中VLVL组24例、CVR组82例。VLVL组年龄小于CVR组(P=0.004),VLVL组qHBsAg水平(P=0.002)、HBeAg阳性率(P=0.002)、pgRNA阳性率(P=0.010)及ALT水平(P=0.017)高于CVR组。qHBsAg水平预测CHB患者采用高敏HBV DNA检查结果高于检测下限(>10 IU/mL)的ROC曲线下面积为0.717(P=0.002),最佳cut-off值为1 214.5 IU/mL,敏感度为95.5%,特异度为53.9%。HBeAg阳性(OR=3.654,95%CI:1.162~11.489,P=0.027)和qHBsAg(OR=2.985,95%CI:1.058~8.422,P=0.039)是未实现CVR的独立影响因素。  结论  CHB患者经普敏检测HBV DNA低于<100 IU/mL,但经高敏PCR检测实际仍存在VLVL。VLVL患者炎症损伤水平、pgRNA阳性率以及HBeAg阳性率均显著高于CVR者。HBeAg阳性和高qHBsAg水平是CHB患者未实现CVR的独立影响因素。临床医师不应忽视CHB患者中VLVL人群,需及时行高敏HBV DNA检测。
