- W2023403429 abstract "To the Editor: We thank the comments by Ng et al.1.Ng Y.Y. Yang W.C. Lee S.T. Long-term lamivudine therapy in hepatitis B-associated membranous nephropathy?.Kidney Int. 2006; 69: 776Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (7) Google Scholar on our report of lamivudine for treating hepatitis B-related membranous nephropathy in subjects with proteinuria exceeding 3 g/day, elevated alanine aminotransferase, and detectable circulating hepatitis B virus DNA levels.2.Tang S. Lai F.M. Lui Y.H. et al.Lamivudine in hepatitis B-associated membranous nephropathy.Kidney Int. 2005; 68: 1750-1758Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (103) Google Scholar We disagree that only patients who do not remit after 1 year of supportive therapy should be treated with lamivudine. Although the spontaneous remission rate was 25% (three out of 12 control patients), the more important point is that 60% of patients who received lamivudine went into complete remission by 1 year. Furthermore, of the five subjects who developed end-stage renal disease in the control group, one (20%) patient required renal replacement therapy only after 8 months of disease onset. Indeed, one of the lessons from contemporary clinical trials is that residual albuminuria at month 6 is a strong marker of renal outcome.3.de Zeeuw D. Remuzzi G. Parving H.H. et al.Proteinuria, a target for renoprotection in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy: lessons from RENAAL.Kidney Int. 2004; 65: 2309-2320Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (763) Google Scholar The detrimental effect of albuminuria in intra-renal inflammation and subsequently fibrosis is also supported by ample experimental data.4.Tang S. Leung J.C. Abe K. et al.Albumin stimulates interleukin-8 expression in proximal tubular epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo.J Clin Invest. 2003; 111: 515-527Crossref PubMed Scopus (216) Google Scholar With such contemporary knowledge and the availability of an effective yet relatively harmless anti-viral agent, it seems unethical to delay unremitting subjects for 1 year before contemplating specific therapy. Although we agree lamivudine resistance will eventually emerge with extended usage, we cannot agree that maintenance of lamivudine should only last 4–6 months, as illustrated by the patient who developed disease relapse shortly after discontinuation of lamivudine that was given for 2 years. We reiterate that lamivudine improves renal outcome, and should be considered for patients with documented hepatitis B-related membranous nephropathy and evidence of liver disease. Randomized studies with long-term follow-up data are needed to validate this notion." @default.
