Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB) alone and those with different degrees of hepatic steatosis (HS).

Methods

Clinical data of 1 393 patients with CHB attending Beijing You’an Hospital, Capital Medical University from February 2008 to January 2023 were collected. Patients were divided into four groups based on the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) values of liver transient elastography:CHB alone group (740 cases), mild HS-CHB group(201 cases), moderate HS-CHB group (235 cases) and severe HS-CHB group (217 cases). The hepatitis B virological and biochemical characteristics among the four groups were compared. Continuous variables were presented as median (interquartile range), with overall group comparisons by Kruskal-Wallis test and pairwise comparisons by Mann-Whitney U test. Categorical variables are presented as number (%), with comparisons performed by Pearson χ2 test.

Results

Age (Z =-4.086, -5.747, -6.958; all P < 0.001)and proportion of males (χ2 = 22.370, 40.120, 37.777; all P < 0.001) were significantly higher in patients with mild, moderate and severe HS-CHB compared to those with CHB alone. Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) (H = 21.532, P < 0.001), HBV DNA level (H = 28.227, P < 0.001), and hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg) positivity rates (χ2 = 24.311, P < 0.001) among CHB alone patients, and patients with mild,moderate and severe HS-CHB were statistically significant. HBsAg, HBV DNA level and HBeAg positivity rate were significantly lower of patients in moderate and severe HS-CHB groups compared to those with CHB alone (all P < 0.05). Regarding biochemical markers, the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) among patients with CHB alone and those with mild, moderate and severe HS-CHB were not significantly different (all P > 0.05). However, the levels of γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT)(H = 53.619, P < 0.001), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (H = 53.619, P < 0.001), albumin (ALB) (H = 23.339,P < 0.001), total bilirubin (TBil) (H = 13.907, P = 0.003) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) (H = 84.403,P < 0.001) were significantly different; GGT, ALP and FBG levels were significantly higher of patients with mild, moderate, and severe HS-CHB compared to those with CHB alone (all P < 0.05). The levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (H = 20.993, P < 0.001), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) (H = 39.718, P < 0.001), small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) (H = 76.613,P < 0.001), total cholesterol (TC) (H = 18.263, P < 0.001) and triglycerides (TG) (H = 103.477, P < 0.001)were statistically significant among the four groups; LDL-C, sdLDL-C, TC and TG levels were significantly higher in patients with moderate and severe HS-CHB compared to those with CHB alone, while HDL-C levels were significantly lower (all P < 0.05).

Conclusions

Patients with HS-CHB are generally older and predominantly male. Compared to those with CHB alone, patients with HS-CHB have lower HBV virological indicators and higher metabolic indicators.
