The Inflammatory Cytokine Profile Associated with Liver Damage is Broader and Stronger in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients Compared to Acute Hepatitis B Patients.
2021
Liver damage in hepatitis B is immune driven and correlates with inflammatory markers in patient
serum. There is no comparison of these markers to determine if inflammatory profiles are distinct to
different types of liver damage across patients at different stages of disease. We measured 25
inflammatory markers in acute hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis B patients with HBeAg seroconversion
and chronic patients stopping nucleoside analogue therapy. Myeloid markers dominated the
inflammatory profile in all stages of hepatitis B. More inflammatory markers were detectable in
chronic patients, including elevated concentrations of cytotoxic effectors Fas ligand, TRAIL and TNF-a.
