Core Tip

Core Tip: Oral nucleos(t)ide analogues have been widely used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B; however, their effects on kidney function remain inconclusive. In this study, no statistically significant differences in the effects of different antiviral drugs on renal function were observed. Urinary β2-microglobulin did not have a significant advantage over estimated glomerular filtration rate as an early warning of renal dysfunction. In addition, being male was an independent risk factor for renal impairment. Thus, men should pay more attention to the changes in renal function indicators when using antiviral drugs, which can provide a clear direction for clinical medication.
