Abstract

Objective: To assess the association between serum HBV pgRNA và HBV DNA in patients with Chronic Hepatitis B and HBV-related liver cirrhosis. Subjects and Methods: A total of 135 treatment-naïve patients with chronic HBV infection were enrolled at the Department of Infectious Diseases, Military Hospital 103, Vietnam Military Medical University, from 2017 to 2020. Based on the clinical, biochemical, serological, and histological data, as well as HBV DNA levels, patients were classified into two groups: Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB, n=105) and HBV-related liver cirrhosis (LC, n=30). The parameters and distribution patterns of serum HBV pgRNA were evaluated in relation to viral replication status. The relationships between serum HBV pgRNA and HBV DNA were analyzed. Result: HBV pgRNA and HBV DNA had a positive moderate correlation CHB group (r = 0.39, p < 0.01), there was no correlation between HBV pgRNA and HBV DNA in LC group. In the CHB group with ALT ≥ 200 U/L and the cirrhosis group with negative HBeAg recorded a positive, fairly strong correlation between HBV pgRNA and HBV DNA (r=0.5 and 0.58, p<0.05). Conclusion: HBV pgRNA has a linear positive correlation with HBV DNA, which makes it a useful marker for in combination with HBV DNA in the monitoring and management of patients with HBV infection and cirrhosis.
