Alanine aminotransferase levels as therapeutic targets after nucleotide/nucleoside analog therapy in patient with chronic hepatitis B

Sakura Kirino et al.

Summary: The aim of this study was to establish a target value of ALT level during NA treatment as a risk marker for HCC. The results showed that patients with ALT <21 IU/L at 1 year after NA initiation had a lower risk of HCC.

Longitudinal association of magnetic resonance elastography-associated liver stiffness with complications and mortality

Summary: Increased MRE-associated liver stiffness was found to be associated with an increased risk of HCC, decompensation, and mortality, but not with MACE or extrahepatic cancer. Additional studies are needed to further explore the role of MRE in MACE and extrahepatic cancer.

Non-invasive methods for imaging hepatic steatosis and their clinical importance in NAFLD

Nobuharu Tamaki et al.

Summary: Hepatic steatosis is a key feature of NAFLD, and non-invasive imaging modalities like MRI-PDFF have the highest diagnostic accuracy for quantifying liver fat content. High levels of liver fat are associated with NAFLD progression, and changes in liver fat can be linked to improvements in NAFLD activity score and fibrosis regression.

Current Trend in Antiviral Therapy for Chronic Hepatitis B

Rong-Nan Chien et al.

Summary: The goal of treating chronic hepatitis B is to suppress HBV replication to prevent liver damage and complications. Currently, pegylated interferon, entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and tenofovir alafenamide are the first-line treatment options. Finite NUC therapy has shown promise in increasing the rate of HBsAg loss in HBeAg-negative patients.

Noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis and its clinical significance in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

Nobuharu Tamaki et al.

Summary: Liver fibrosis is a key prognostic factor in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients. Various noninvasive markers have been developed for screening, diagnosing, and predicting liver fibrosis, as well as related events and mortality.

Summary: There is a significant association between metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, irrespective of liver cirrhosis and/or antiviral therapy.

Sakura Kirino et al.

Summary: In chronic hepatitis B patients, the PAGE-B score can be used for HCC risk assessment, especially at different time points during NA treatment. The predictive ability of mPAGE-B and REACH-B at 2 years after NA treatment is not as good as PAGE-B.

Hidenori Toyoda et al.

Summary: Following the switch to TAF, patients with chronic hepatitis B showed continued improvement in virologic response and ALT normalization, with no significant changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate. Patients with chronic kidney disease at baseline also showed improvement in kidney function after switching to TAF.

Daniel Q. Huang et al.

Summary: This study compared Asian and non-Asian patients with HBV-related HCC and found that non-Asian patients were more likely to have HIV or hepatitis C co-infection, cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, and advanced BCLC stage. However, non-Asian patients without cirrhosis had lower 5-year survival compared to Asians, and non-Asian ethnicity was independently associated with twice the risk of mortality in patients without cirrhosis.

Katsutoshi Tokushige et al.

Summary: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a serious public health issue in Japan, with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) being a progressive form that can lead to liver cirrhosis and increase the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. The most common cause of death in NAFLD patients is cardiovascular disease.

Summary: Our study found that hepatic steatosis was not associated with the probability of HBsAg seroclearance, fibrosis progression or HCC development in patients with quiescent CHB. Further studies with longer follow-up periods are needed to confirm these results.
