Significance of HBV DNA and hepatitis B five-items quantitative in the disease progression of hepatitis B virus infection patients with different ages
Objective To explore the differences between the hepatitis B virus(HBV)DNA and hepatitis B five-items quantitative[including hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg),hepatitis B surface antibody(HBsAb),hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg),hepatitis B e antibody(HBeAb),hepatitis B core antibody(HBcAb)]in different stages of HBV infection process,so as to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic hepatitis B,hepatitis B cirrhosis and liver cancer at different stages.Methods A total of 295 patients with HBV infection admitted from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects.According to age,the patients were divided into young group(≤45 years old,105 cases),middle-aged group(46-59 years old,128 cases)and elderly group(≥60 years old,62 cases).The HBV DNA and hepatitis B five-item quantitative in patients with chronic hepatitis B,hepatitis B cirrhosis and liver cancer were compared among the three groups.Results There was no significant difference in the age of patients with chronic hepatitis B,hepatitis B cirrhosis and liver cancer among the three groups(P>0.05).There were statistically significant differences in the level of HBV DNA,HBsAg and HBeAg between the youth group and the middle-aged group in patients with chronic hepatitis B,hepatitis B cirrhosis and liver cancer(P<0.05);the level of HBV DNA,HBsAg and HBeAg in patients with chronic hepatitis B were significantly higher than those in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis and liver cancer(P<0.05).In the elderly group,there were no significant differences in the level of HBV DNA,HBsAg,HBsAb,HBeAg,HBeAb and HBcAb among patients with chronic hepatitis B,hepatitis B cirrhosis and liver cancer(P>0.05).Conclusion In young and middle-aged patients,with the progression of chronic hepatitis B to hepatitis B cirrhosis and liver cancer,the level of HBV DNA,HBsAg and HBeAg showed a downward trend.Monitoring the trend of related indicators has certain significance for suggesting the development of the disease.
