摘要：

Potent antiviral agents effectively reduce liver-related events in patients with chronic hepatitis B. This study aimed to determine whether alanine aminotransferase normalization using potent antiviral agents was related to hepatocellular carcinoma development. From 2007 to 2017, we included 610 patients with chronic hepatitis B who received entecavir or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate. The patients were divided into the alanine aminotransferase normalization group (Gr.1) and non-normalization group (Gr.2) within a year of potent antiviral treatment. Liver-related events included hepatic encephalopathy, variceal bleeding, and ascites. The mortality rate and hepatocellular carcinoma incidence were investigated for each group. The patients who showed ALT normalization at 1 year of treatment were 397 (65.1%) of 610. During a median follow-up period of 86 months, 65 (10.7%) patients developed hepatocellular carcinoma. The cumulative incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma was significantly lower in Gr.1 than in Gr.2 (p < 0.001). Risk factors for alanine aminotransferase non-normalization were body mass index, cholesterol, and liver cirrhosis at baseline. Male sex, age, platelet level, alcohol use, presence of cirrhosis at baseline, and non-normalization after 1 year of treatment were independent risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma. Alanine aminotransferase normalization within 1 year of initiating antiviral agents reduces the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma development.
