A Prospective Study of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Immunity and Hepatitis B Vaccination in Patients With Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in Canada
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Engerix-B for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 82 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
(1) Due to missed childhood vaccination programs, the majority of adult patients with NAFLD in Canada do not have immunity to hepatitis B. (2) Adults with NAFLD who receive the HBV vaccine have reduced immunogenic responses in the setting of obesity (i.e., protective anti-HBs titres). Aims: (1) To determine the sero-prevalence of immunity against hepatitis B in a cohort of prospectively evaluated adult NAFLD patients. (2) To prospectively determine HBV vaccine responses (anti-HBs titres) in adult NAFLD patients.
