Score 1 =
mild fibrosis
fibrous portal expansion
periportal fibrotic expansion
Score 2 =
moderate fibrosis
rare bridges or septa
periportal septa (>1 septum)
Score 3 =
severe fibrosis
numerous bridges or septae
portal-central septae
Score 4 =

numbered bridges or septa
cirrhosis
Class A =
5-6 points
least severe liver disease
Class B =
7-9 points
moderately severe liver disease
Class C =
10-15 points
most severe liver disease
HBsAg
Hep B SURFACE
- Detectable at sx onset (acute and chronic)
HBeAg
Hep Be
- marker of replication and infectivity
Anti-HBeAg
-replaces HBeAG once infection or NO HBV replication
-reversion to HBeAg+ may occur
Anti-HBsAg
develops from HBV infection OR vaccination
HBcAg
Hep B core
- protein promoting immune-mediated cell death
- ONLY present infection
IgM Anti-HBcAg
-detectable in acute (< 6mo)
IgG Anti-HBcAg
-replaces IgM Ab and PERSISTS LIFELONG (chronic >6mo)
Pegylated Interferon a-2a, a-2b (Pegasus, Pegintron) MOA and dose
- inhibit viral replication, immunomodulatory; seroconversion advantage over PO anti-HBV agents
- Peg-IFN a-2a( 18+mo) = 180 mcg SQ weekly
- IFN a-2b (1+ y) = 3M IU/m2 SQ 3x/wk then 6M IU/m2 SQ 3x/wk
Pegylated Interferon a-2a, a-2b (Pegasus, Pegintron)
CONTRAINDICATIONS
- uncontrolled major depression
- suicidal ideation
- autoimmune hepatitis or disease
- solid organ transplant
- decompensated cirrhosis or HCC
- uncontrolled thyroid disorder
Entecavir (Baraclude)
MOA, dose
- guanosine nucleoside analog inhibits HBV DNA replication
- 0.5mg PO daily (naive)
- 1mg PO daily (lamivudine resistance/refractory)
- wt-based (peds; 2+yo)
- dose reduction in renal dx
Entecavir (Baraclude)
administration
EMPTY STOMACH; > 2H before or after meal
–well-tolerated. stopping abruptly = HBV exacerbated
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF, Viread)
MOA & dose
- adenosine nucleotide analog inhibits HBV DNA replication
- 35+ kg: 300mg PO daily
- 2 oz and 10 + kg: wt-based
- dose reduction in renal dysfunction
