Objective To explore the effectiveness of lamividine (LAM) combined with adefovir (ADV) versus entecavir (ETV) for lamivudine-resistant (LAM-R) hepatitis B in renal transplant recipients. Method Outpatients and inpatients of lamivudine-resistant kidney graft recipients with chronic hepatitis B admitted to West China Hospital and the People's Hospital of Santai County during Jan 2007 to Mar 2012 were divided into A group (LAM+ADV) and B group (ETV). And the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), level of serum creatinine, HBV serological markers and HBV-DNA load were compared by SPSS 16.0 software. Results A total of 15 patients were included. The mean age was 36.7±6.6 years old, the majority of patients were male. After treatment for 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 24 weeks, 48 weeks, 96 weeks, no significant differences were found between two groups in liver function normalization rates, the HBV-DNA negative conversion rates and serum creatinine level. Conclusions LAM add-on ADV combination therapy and ETV monotherapy were both safe and effective in LAM-R kidney transplants with CHB, but the load of HBV-DNA in some patients were still positive at the endpoint. Elevated serum creatinine level may occur in some patients who treated with ADV. Consequently, for HBsAg-positive kidney transplantation patients, those anti-HBV drugs that are more effective, safer and less resistant may be better in the beginning of treatment.
