Abstract: AIM: To evaluate the effect of TDF withdrawal time on changes of serum HBV-M, HBV DNA and ALT level in the mother-to-child blocking of the maternal population. METHODS: A prospective, randomized and controlled study was conducted. The 120 pregnant women with HBV who took TDF during 24 to 28 weeks of gestation were randomly divided into group A (withdrawal at delivery) and group B (withdrawal at 4 weeks postpartum), levels of HBV-M,HBV DNA, and ALT at different times were detected. The results were statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon Rank-sum test and χ2 test. RESULTS: In total, 106 pregnant women have completed testing and follow-up, including 56 in group A and 50 in group B. The levels of HBsAg showed no significant difference in both groups and between the two groups (P>0.05). The levels of HBeAg (M=2.920Log10S/CO) and HBV DNA (M=1.477Log10copies/mL) of group B at withdrawal were significantly lower than group A (M=3.045Log10S/CO, M=2.647Log10 copies/mL). The difference were statistically significant (Z=3.126, P=0.002; Z=-2.940, P<0.001). The HBeAg serological conversional rate of group B was 22.00%(11/50), which was higher than group A [8.93% (5/56)], but it was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The ALT abnormal incidence rate after withdrawal (41.07% in group A and 40.00% in group B) were significantly higher than during pregnancy (19.64% in group A, 16.00% in group B). The difference were statistically significant (group A: χ2=6.081, P=0.014; group B: χ2=7.143, P=0.008); The result of group A and group B compared each was no statistics significant (χ2=0.238, P=0.625). About women with abnormal ALT during pregnancy, the abnormal incidence rate of ALT in group A after withdrawal (100%) was significantly higher than in group B (62.50%) , and the difference was statistically significant (Z=0.696, P=0.048). CONCLUSION: The levels of HBsAg, HBeAg, HBV DNA and ALT have no difference between group A (withdrawal at delivery) and group B(withdrawal at 4 weeks after delivery). About women with abnormal ALT during pregnancy, people in group A show more incurrence than group B after drug withdrawal. Pregnant women with abnormal ALT during pregnancy should enhance postpartum monitoring and delay the drug time when necessary.
