Role of quantitative hepatitis B core antibody levels in predicting significant liver inflammation in chronic hepatitis B patients with normal or near‐normal alanine aminotransferase levels

Aim Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels are not free from significant hepatic lesions. Recently, there has been an improved understanding of the clinical significance of quantitative hepatitis B core antibody levels (qAnti‐HBc) during CHB management....

description Aim Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels are not free from significant hepatic lesions. Recently, there has been an improved understanding of the clinical significance of quantitative hepatitis B core antibody levels (qAnti‐HBc) during CHB management. In this cross‐sectional study, we evaluated the utility of qAnti‐HBc in identifying significant liver inflammation in CHB patients. Methods A total of 469 patients (training set, n = 363; validation set, n = 106) who underwent liver biopsy (LB) were included. The qAnti‐HBc levels were quantified and the relationship between histology and serum markers was systematically analyzed. Results In the training set, qAnti‐HBc levels were found to have significant diagnostic value for moderate to severe liver inflammation (≥G2) in all patients (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUROC] = 0.768; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.721–0.810; P

Our novel index (AC index) for the identification of ≥G2 inflammation, which combined the qAnti‐HBc and ALT levels, significantly improved diagnostic performance (AUROC = 0.813; 95% CI, 0.768–0.852) compared to the use of ALT alone (AUROC = 0.779; 95% CI, 0.732–0.821) in all patients. In the validation set, the AC index showed an improved AUROC of 0.890 (95% CI, 0.814–0.942) and 0.867 (95% CI, 0.749–0.943) in all patients and patients with normal ALT levels, respectively. Conclusions The qAnti‐HBc level predicts significant liver inflammation well, even in patients with normal or near‐normal ALT levels. Compared with the conventional ALT level, the AC index is a more reliable non‐invasive biomarker for significant liver inflammation in CHB patients.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1386-6346</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1872-034X</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/hepr.12937</identifier><identifier>PMID: 28707778</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Netherlands: Wiley Subscription Services, Inc</publisher><subject>Alanine ; Alanine transaminase ; Biopsy ; chronic HBV infection ; Hepatitis ; Hepatitis B ; hepatitis B virus ; Inflammation ; Interferon ; Liver ; non‐invasive marker ; quantitative anti‐HBc</subject><ispartof>Hepatology research, 2018-02, Vol.48 (3), p.E133-E145</ispartof><rights>2017 The Japan Society of Hepatology</rights><rights>2017 The Japan Society of Hepatology.</rights><rights>2018 The Japan Society of Hepatology</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c4177-755686b1779fb77620532c60092e753a7f547552ade06cccb3aadba8e57375023</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c4177-755686b1779fb77620532c60092e753a7f547552ade06cccb3aadba8e57375023</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111%2Fhepr.12937$$EPDF$$P50$$Gwiley$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111%2Fhepr.12937$$EHTML$$P50$$Gwiley$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>315,781,785,1418,27929,27930,45579,45580</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28707778$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Li, Jing</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Zhang, Tian‐Ying</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Song, Liu‐Wei</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Qi, Xun</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Yu, Xue‐Ping</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Li, Fa‐Hong</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Zhou, Pu</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Qin, Yan‐Li</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Yang, Lin</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Zhao, Jing‐Hua</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Mao, Ri‐Cheng</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Zhang, Yong‐Mei</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Wang, Jin‐Yu</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Yang, Fei‐Fei</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Zhu, Hao‐Xiang</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Yang, Si‐Si</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Huang, Yu‐Xian</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Yuan, Quan</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Zhang, Jun</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Zhang, Ji‐Ming</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Xia, Ning‐Shao</creatorcontrib><title>Role of quantitative hepatitis B core antibody levels in predicting significant liver inflammation in chronic hepatitis B patients with normal or near‐normal alanine aminotransferase levels</title><title>Hepatology research</title><addtitle>Hepatol Res</addtitle><description>Aim Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels are not free from significant hepatic lesions.
