Objective To evaluate the safety and effect of adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) in HBeAg-positive patients with chronic hepatitis B. Methods All 131 patients were divided into two groups randomly. Two groups were treated with ADV (10 mg/d) and marine capsules (0.6 g/d), respectively. The rate of HBV DNA negative, the normalization rates of ALT, HBeAg negative rate, anti-HBe seroconversion and adverse effect were evaluated, respectively. Results The rate of HBV DNA negative, the normalization rates of ALT, HBeAg negative rate and anti-HBe seroconversion of adefovir dipivoxil were all signiicantly higher than those of control group (53.2%/7.8%, 36.0%/8.7%, 13.6%/3.1%, 6.2%/0, respectively, χ2 = 56.32, 23.18, P < 0.01). The rate of experimental group and control group respectively are 78.0%/9.6%, 56.8%/28.7%, 32.1%/11.7%, 18.7%/6.3%(χ2 are respectively 76.78, 21.72, 20.61, 21.32, P < 0.01). Conclusions The safety and eficacy of domestic adefovir dipivoxil is superior to marine capules in HBeAg-positive patients.
