背景:急性病毒性肝炎(AVH)通常是一种自限性疾病。糖尿病患者容易发生肝脏疾病,肝脏再生受损。尚未评估糖尿病患者的AVH自然病程,可能很严重。
方法:观察性前瞻性研究,以评估有和无糖尿病患者的AVH自然病程。包括连续的AVH患者,并将其分为有或没有糖尿病的患者。病因学,并发症,确定并比较两组间AVH的死亡率和恢复参数.
结果:评估了2007年3月至2009年3月期间131例连续AVH;包括12例糖尿病患者和83例非糖尿病患者(n=95)进行分析。戊型肝炎是整个队列中最常见的原因(n=55,57.89%)。然而,乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)作为病因在糖尿病患者中明显高于非糖尿病患者(58.33%vs.25.3%,P=0.02)。相比之下,在61.44%的非糖尿病患者中,戊型肝炎是病因。糖尿病患者的重型肝炎频率明显高于非糖尿病患者(5/12;41.67%vs.9/83;10.64%,P<0.005)。重度肝炎患者中的14人中有5人(36%)是糖尿病患者。2例(16%)糖尿病患者发生肝功能衰竭和死亡,而非糖尿病患者均无肝功能衰竭。多变量logistic回归分析显示,急性乙型肝炎(OR4.7(95%CI1.34-16.47))和糖尿病(OR4.0(95%CI0.96-16.47))与重型肝炎相关。
结论:糖尿病患者有接触HBV感染和严重肝炎的风险。
BACKGROUND: Acute viral hepatitis (AVH) is usually a self-limiting illness. Diabetics are prone to develop liver diseases and liver regeneration is impaired in them. Natural course of AVH in diabetics has not been assessed and may be severe.
METHODS: Observational prospective study to evaluate natural course of AVH in patients with and without diabetes mellitus. Consecutive patients with AVH were included and categorized in to those with or without diabetes. Etiology, complications, mortality and recovery parameters of AVH were identified and compared between two groups.
RESULTS: 131 consecutive AVH between March 2007 and March 2009 were evaluated; 12 diabetics and 83 non-diabetics (n = 95) were included for analysis. Hepatitis E was the commonest cause (n = 55, 57.89%) in the whole cohort. However, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) as the etiology was significantly higher among diabetics than in non-diabetics (58.33% vs. 25.3%, P = 0.02). In contrast, hepatitis E was the etiology in 61.44% of non-diabetics. Frequency of severe hepatitis was significantly higher in diabetics than in non-diabetics (5/12; 41.67% vs. 9/83; 10.64%, P < 0.005). 5 of 14 (36%) with severe hepatitis were diabetics. Liver failure and death occurred in 2 (16%) diabetics, while none among the non-diabetics had liver failure. Multiple variable logistic regression analysis revealed that acute hepatitis B (OR 4.7 (95% CI 1.34-16.47)) and diabetes (OR 4.0 (95% CI 0.96-16.47)) were associated with severe hepatitis.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with diabetes are at risk to contact HBV infection and severe hepatitis.
