Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of antiviral therapy on the clinical postoperative prognosis of patients with serum HBV DNA-positive hepatitis B related cirrhosis and portal hypertension(PH). Methods 89 patients with serum HBV DNA positive liver cirrhosis and PH were randomly divided into intervention group(n=49) receiving selected splenectomy and entecavir,and control group(n=41) receiving selected splenectomy alone. The liver function tests,serum HBV DNA levels,Child-Pugh scores,liver fibrosis markers were routinely obtained, and the survival rates were observed. Results At the end of 1 month and 3 month after surgery,the serum HBV DNA levels in intervention group were (5.79±1.78) lgcopies/L and (4.24±1.61) lgcopies/L,respectively,while it didn’t change in the control group (P<0.01);The serum alanine aminotransferase and total bilirubin levels in intervention group decreased,albumin increased as compared to those in control(P<0.01);the survival rates at 1 a and 3 a in invention group were 93.7% and 75.0%,much higher than 87.9% and 68.3%,in the control (P<0.05). Conclusions Antiviral therapy after selected splenectomy in PH patients with positive HBV DNA can promote the 1iver function recovery and better clinical prognosis.
