Objective: To analyze the clinical and histopathological features of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) combined with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Methods: Clinical data of 529 cases who had liver biopsies at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between January 2015 and October 2021 were collected. Among them were 290 cases with CHB, 155 cases with CHB combined with MAFLD, and 84 cases with MAFLD. Three groups of patients clinical data, including general information, biochemical indicators, FibroScan indicators, viral load, and histopathology, were analyzed. A binary logistic regression analysis was used to explore the factors influencing MAFLD in patients with CHB. Results: (1) Age, male status, proportion of hypertension and diabetes, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, low-density lipoprotein, cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, creatinine, and the controlled attenuation parameter for hepatic steatosis were higher in CHB combined with MAFLD than in CHB patient groups. In contrast, the high-density lipoprotein, HBeAg positivity rate, viral load level, and liver fibrosis grade (S stage) were lower in CHB patients, and the differences were statistically significant ( P < 0.05). (2) Alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, triglycerides, uric acid, creatinine, and the controlled attenuation parameter for hepatic steatosis in CHB combined with the MAFLD were lower than those in MAFLD patient groups, while high-density lipoprotein was higher than that of MAFLD patients, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the grade of liver inflammation and fibrosis (GS stage) between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that overweight/obesity, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, the controlled attenuation parameter for hepatic steatosis, and HBeAg positivity were independent influencing factors for MAFLD in CHB patients. Conclusion: Patients with CHB combined with metabolic disorders are prone to developing MAFLD, and there is a certain correlation between HBV viral factors, the degree of liver fibrosis, and the fatty degeneration of hepatocytes. |
