Результаты применения мультидисциплинарного подхода в лечении больных циррозом печени в исходе хронических вирусных гепатитов

Abstract

Aim – to evaluate the results of applying a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of patients with liver cirrhosis in the outcome of chronic viral hepatitis. Material and methods. From July 2018 to September 2021, 94 orthotopic liver transplants (OTLT) from a posthumous donor were performed at the surgical clinic of the Botkin Hospital. Of 94 recipients, 48 (51.1%) indicated for surgery as liver cirrhosis as a result of chronic viral hepatitis C (CVHC), in 8 (8.5%) cirrhosis as a result of chronic viral hepatitis B (CVHB). In the case of cirrhosis as a result of CVHB, the presence of viral replication was a contraindication for transplantation; patients with its presence at the stage of placing on the waiting list were sent to an infectious disease specialist to receive antiviral therapy (AVT). Prevention of recurrence of CVHB in the graft consisted of intraoperative, as well as early and late postoperative administration of 400–800 IU of immunoglobulin against hepatitis B. Among liver transplant recipients with liver cirrhosis in the outcome of CVHC, less than half (43.75%) did not have HCV RNA against the background of passed or the OEM received by the time of the operation. The rest of the patients had contraindications to AVT, and HCV eradication was performed after transplantation. Results. The average follow-up period for hepatic transplant recipients with liver cirrhosis as a result of CVHB was 12.28 ± 4.11 (7–23) months. Satisfactory graft function against the background of constant antiviral therapy was observed in all patients. No deaths were recorded. The average follow-up time for patients with cirrhosis of the liver in the outcome of chronic hepatitis C after OTTP was 21.67 ± 4.85 (1–38) months. Antiviral therapy was prescribed to 24 patients 2.7 ± 0.34 (2–4) months after surgery. Three patients did not receive AVT after surgery due to their low adherence to treatment. Satisfactory graft function was observed in all patients, confident virological response against the background of AVT – in 17 patients (70.8%). 7 patients (29.2%) are currently undergoing antiviral therapy. Of the three patients who did not receive AVT in the postoperative period of their own free will, 1 patient (33.3%) developed graft cirrhosis and death from decompensation of liver failure at 23 months after transplantation. Conclusion. The use of a multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of patients with liver cirrhosis as a result of chronic viral hepatitis allows achieving a confident virological response, radically curing liver cirrhosis, thereby preventing associated complications, improving the quality of life of patients and restoring their ability to work.
