Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical feature of liver injury in patients with hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS).
METHODS:The clinical data of 92 patients with HPS in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively, and the characteristics of hepatic lesion and its relationship with prognosis in HPS patients were explored.
RESULT:92 cases of HPS showed different degrees of liver dysfunction from mild to moderate. The clinical parameters of liver dysfunction included the increased level of LDH (89.13%), AST (64.13%), TBIL (59.78%) and decreased level of ALB (90.22%). Moreover, 76.09% and 67.39% of the patients had the prolonging of APTT and PT respectively. The ALB level of patients in rheumatoid immune group were higher than that in infection, maglinancy and unexplained groups, all with statistically and significant difference (P＜0.05, P＜0.05 and P＜0.01), the ALB level of patients in infection group were statistically and significantly higher than that in unexplained group (P＜0.01). The Fbg level of patients in infection group were lower than that in maglinancy group, unexplained group and rheumatoid immune group, all the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05, P＜0.01 and P＜0.05). Child-Pugh grading was further carried out in HPS patients with liver disfunction. Survival time of the patients grade A was significantly higher than that of grade B and C of patients. Univariate analysis showed that the patients with LDH≥2000 U/L, ALB＜30 g/L and PT≥15.1 s had a survival time inferior to control patients (P＜0.05, P＜0.01 and P＜0.01, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that ALB＜30 g/L was an independent adverse prognostic factor for these patients (P＜0.01).
CONCLUSION:Patients with HPS generally have impaired liver function mainly manifested with elevated LDH and AST levels, and declined ALB level, which may correlate with the disease cause and prognosis. Patients with LDH≥2000 U/L, ALB＜30 g/L and PT≥15.1 s have a poorer prognosis and should be treated as soon as possible.
