Profiles of liver fibrosis evolution during long-term tenofovir treatment in HIV-positive patients coinfected with hepatitis B Running title: Liver fibrosis evolution in HIV/HBV coinfection

Abstract

Background & Aims Data on liver fibrosis evolution and its involvement in liver-related morbidity are scarce in individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection during treatment. We identified profiles of liver fibrosis evolution in coinfected patients undergoing tenofovir (TDF). Methods We included 169 HIV-HBV-coinfected patients on TDF-based antiretroviral therapy. Virological and clinical data were obtained at TDF-initiation and every 6-12 months. From data on non-invasive liver fibrosis assessments collected yearly (FibroTest®), we established clusters of individuals with similar liver fibrosis evolution using group-based trajectory models. Results Four profiles of liver fibrosis evolution were established from a median follow-up of 7.6 years (IQR = 3.1-13.1): low fibrosis with no progression (29.6%, profile A), low fibrosis with progression (22.5%, profile B), moderate fibrosis with high fluctuation (39.6%, profile C), and cirrhosis with no regression (8.3%, profile D). When compared to profile A, baseline HBeAg-positive status was associated with profiles B (P = .007) and C (P = .004), older age with profiles C (P < .001) and D (P = .001), exposure to second-generation protease inhibitors with profile C (P = .004), and CD4+ <500/mm3 at the last visit with profiles C (P = .02) and D (P = .002). Incident liver-related events occurred in profiles other than A (B, n = 1/38; C, n = 6/67; D, n = 3/14) and all five cases of hepatocellular carcinoma occurred in profiles C (n = 2) and D (n = 3). Conclusions TDF-treated HIV-HBV coinfected individuals do not seem to benefit from comparable levels of liver fibrosis regression as in HBV mono-infection. Liver-related morbidity occurs mainly in those with fluctuating or consistently high fibrosis levels.
