Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of chronic hepatitis B patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods A total of 127 patients with untreated chronic hepatitis B infection were recruited.The patients were divided into two groups according to the diagnosis of MS,with 45 in MS group and 82 in non-MS group.Age,gender,body mass index (BMI),waist-to-hip ratio (WHR),fasting blood glucose (FBG),triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg),hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV DNA) were compared between groups.Liver biopsy was performed in 94 patients,including 31 in MS group and 63 in non-MS group,to compare the histological characteristics of liver between two groups.A chi-square test and t test were used for the data analysis.Results BMI,WHR,TG,TC,and FBG results of patients in MS group and nonMS group were (28.88±3.00) kg/m2,0.93±0.03,(2.77±0.17) mmol/L,(6.51±0.95) mmol/L,(6.67±0.45) mmol/L,and (24.64± 2.21) kg/m2,0.91±0.04,(1.50±0.65) mmol/L,(4.38±0.71) mmol/L,(4.91±0.92) mmol/L,respectively.Patients in MS group had higher BMI,WHR,FBG,TG and TC compared with those in non-MS group (t=9.109,3.245,2.642,3.762 and 2.586,respectively; all P＜0.05).No statistical significant differences were found in age,ALT or AST between two groups (t=2.224,0.703 and 0.141,respectively; all P＞0.05).Neither any statistical difference was found in gender,the positive rate of HBeAg and HBV DNA between two groups (x2 =1.662,0.037 and 0.944,respectively; all P＞0.05).In inflammation activity comparison,the result of liver biopsy showed that 48.39 ％ (15/31) were classified as G0-G1 and 51.61％(16/31) as G2-G4 in MS group,and those in non MS group were 49.21％(31/63) and 50.79％(32/63),respectively.No statistical significance was reached (x2 =0.006,P＞0.05).In fibrosis stage comparison,patients in MS group classifies as S0-S1 and S2-S4 were 32.26％ (10/31) and 67.74％(21/31),respectively,and those in non-MS group were 60.32％ (38/63)and 39.68％ (25/63),respectively.The liver fibrosis in MS group was significantly more severe than that in non-MS group (x2 =6.546,P＜0.05).Conclusions The CHB patients with MS have higher BMI,WHR,FBG,TG and TC.The presence of MS may promote the progress of liver fibrosis in CHB patients.
