AbstractThis study aimed to explore the effects of the 3 nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) on lipid levels. We retrospectively included patients treated with NAs at 2 centers and collected their clinical data at their visiting points. Differences in blood lipid levels were analyzed by statistical methods, and factors related to hyperlipidemia were discussed. In these 2 centers, the prevalence rates of hypercholesterolemia were 12/181 (6.6%) for tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF)-, 0/158 (0%) for tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-, and 13/182 (7.1%) for entecavir (ETV)-treated individuals (P = .003). The prevalence rates of hypertriglyceridemia were 30/181 (16.6%) for TAF-, 11/158 (7.0%) for TDF-, and 26/182 (14.3%) for ETV-treated individuals (P = .025). In TAF (n = 181, 10 [6, 15] months), TDF (n = 158, 18 [7.5, 45] months), and ETV (n = 182, 24 [10, 60] months) groups, total cholesterol (TC) levels were 4.63 ± 0.91 mmol/L, 3.86 ± 0.61 mmol/L, and 4.53 ± 0.87 mmol/L, respectively; triglyceride (TG) levels were 1.27 ± 0.76 mmol/L, 0.87 ± 0.51 mmol/L, and 1.14 ± 0.67 mmol/L, respectively (P < .001). In multivariate regression analysis, factors associated with hypercholesterolemia were age (adjusted hazard risk [HR] = 1.055 [1.018-1.094]; P = .003) and body mass index (BMI) (adjusted HR = 0.817 [0.669-0.998]; P = .048). Factors associated with hypertriglyceridemia were TAF group (vs. TDF group) (adjusted HR = 0.405 [0.167-0.980]; P = .045), age (adjusted HR = 1.028 [1.002-1.055]; P = .038), and sex (adjusted HR = 0.190 [0.079-0.456]; P < .001). Among the patients treated with TAF (10 [6, 15] months), TDF (18 [7.5, 45] months), and ETV (24 [10, 60] months), the blood lipid levels in the TDF group were lower than those in the TAF group and ETV group, and the occurrence of hyperlipidemia was associated with age, sex, BMI, and different treatment.Copyright © 2022 the Author(s).
