一个用于治疗乙型肝炎的药物是聚乙二醇干扰素(商品名派罗欣)。在每周注射干扰素,管理,加强你的免疫系统以帮助它对抗B型肝炎病毒(HBV)。
医生可能会开干扰素48周,如果你的谷丙转氨酶(ALT)水平高于正常。这意味着你的免疫系统正在积极战斗在您的肝脏的乙肝病毒感染。当你的免疫系统攻击的HBV感染的肝细胞,受损细胞释放ALT。
干扰素效果最好时,你的ALT水平升高时,你的病毒载量低。
所以,当你的ALT水平升高,医生可能会开干扰素,帮助过乙肝病毒的免疫系统抵抗。
HBeAg阳性患者:
在临床试验中,约27至32%的人的“e”抗原(HBeAg阳性)能够得到摆脱HBeAg, 发展“E”的抗体,干扰素治疗后,39%,取得了正常的ALT水平。
HBeAg阴性的患者:
约63%的患者达到检测不到病毒载量(HBV - DNA)和38%,取得了正常的ALT水平。
记住.............
•如果您有e抗原,干扰素能降低你的病毒载量25%的时间内检测不到的水平,并产生正常的ALT水平在39%的患者。
•如果您有HBeAg阴性乙肝,干扰素能产生无法检测的病毒载量63%的时间和正常的ALT水平38%的时间。
•研究表明,患者HBV基因型A和B更好地应对比其他基因型干扰素。
•干扰素是一种昂贵的药物,但它只有48周。
•干扰素工作有效, 免疫系统必须战斗B型肝炎感染(表示高ALT水平表示)。
•在一些人,干扰素会导致疲劳和中度至严重的抑郁症。
One drug used to treat hepatitis B is pegylated interferon (brand name Pegasys). Interferon, administered in a weekly injection,strengthens your immune system
to help it fight the hepatitis B virus (HBV).
Doctors may prescribe interferon for 48 weeks if your alanine aminotransferase (or ALT) level is above normal. This means your immune system is actively fighting
the HBV infection in your liver. When your immune system attacks your HBV-infected liver cells, the damaged cells release ALT.
Interferon works best when your ALT levels are elevated, and your viral load is low.
So, when your ALT level is elevated, doctors may prescribe interferon to help the immune system fight off HBV.
HBeAg-positive patients:
In clinical trials, about 27 to 32% of people who have the “e” antigen (HBeAg positive) were able to get rid of the HBeAg and develop the “e” antibody after interferon treatment, and 39% achieved normal ALT levels.
HBeAg-negative patients:
About 63% of these patients achieved undetectable viral load (HBV DNA) and 38% achieved normal ALT levels.
Remember.............
• If you have HBeAg, interferon can lower your viral load to
undetectable levels 25% of the time, and produce normal ALT
levels in 39% of patients.
• If you have HBeAg-negative hepatitis B, interferon can produce
undetectable viral load 63% of the time and normal ALT levels
38% of the time.
• Studies suggest that patients with HBV genotypes A and B
respond better to interferon than other genotypes.
• Interferon is an expensive drug, but it only has to be taken for 48
weeks.
• The immune system must be fighting the hepatitis B infection
(indicated by high ALT levels) for interferon to work.
• In some people, interferon causes fatigue and moderate to
severe depression.
