Abstract: Objective To analyze the characteristics and related factors of hypophosphatemic osteomalacia induced by adefovir dipivoxil. Methods Cases treated by anti-hepatitis B drugs from 6 tertiary comprehensive hospitals were investigated retrospectively. The status of drug use, age, sex, medication, adverse drug reactions and treatment outcomes were analyzed descriptively. Results Anti-hepatitis B virus with adefovir dipivoxil may cause osteomalacia hypophosphatemia. The changes in renal function-related biochemical indicators, such as blood phosphorus, urinary phosphorus and creatinine, are the early indications. Hypophosphatemia usually occurs 3~5 years after treatment beginning, and the changes in renal function-related biochemical indicators mainly involved were blood phosphorus, urinary phosphorus, creatinine, etc. Patients with advanced age, poor nutritional status, and chronic liver and kidney diseases are easier to develop the adverse reaction. Conclusion For the patients treated by adefovir, clinicians should fully understand this adverse reaction, and should regularly monitor renal function and serum phosphorus. Patients with poor nutrition and with history of kidney disease should be monitored more strongly.
