摘要:
目的 了解自身免疫性肝炎(AIH) 患者中隐匿性HBV感染(OBI) 的流行率,探讨合并OBI是否影响AIH患者的临床及预后。 方法 选取2012年4月—2019年3月北京佑安医院收治的确诊AIH患者103例,利用巢式PCR和Real-time PCR法确诊OBI的诊断,Real-time PCR法检测HBV pgRNA,比较合并OBI的AIH组(n=24)和非OBI组(n=79)患者临床特征、实验室指标、随访分析预后特征。正态分布计量资料两组间比较采用独立样本t检验,非正态分布计量资料两组间比较采用Mann-Whitney U秩和检验,计数资料组间比较采用χ2检验或Fisher精确概率法,Kaplan-Meier法绘制生存曲线,采用Cox回归模型进行单因素和多因素分析,并计算风险比(HR)及95%CI。 结果 AIH患者中OBI的检出率为23.30%(24/103),且HBV DNA病毒载量均<200 IU/mL,其中9例(37.50%,9/24)OBI患者血清中可以检测到HBV pgRNA。OBI组患者HBV三个抗体(抗-HBs、抗-HBc、抗-HBe)同时阳性率显著高于非OBI组(χ2=5.906,P=0.016)。单因素分析显示,OBI、低蛋白血症、脾肿大、腹水为AIH不良事件的危险因素(P值均<0.05),与疾病进展相关。进一步行多因素Cox回归分析发现,低蛋白血症、腹水为不良事件相关的独立危险因素(P值均<0.05)。 结论 AIH患者中存在较高的OBI检出率,合并OBI可能加速AIH疾病的进展。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the prevalence rate of occult HBV infection (OBI) in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and the influence of OBI in the clinical condition and prognosis of AIH patients. Methods A total of 103 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of AIH who were admitted to Beijing YouAn Hospital from April 2012 to March 2019 were enrolled. Nested PCR and real-time PCR were used to confirm the diagnosis of OBI, and real-time PCR was used to measure HBV pgRNA. Clinical features, laboratory markers, and follow-up analysis of prognosis were compared between the OBI group with 24 patients and the non-OBI group with 79 patients. The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves, and the Cox regression model was used to perform univariate and multivariate analyses. Hazard ratio and its 95% confidence interval were calculated. Results The detection rate of OBI was 23.30% (24/103) in AIH patients, with an HBV DNA viral load of < 200 IU/mL, among whom 9 patients with OBI (9/24, 37.50%) were found to have HBV pgRNA in serum. Compared with the non-OBI group, the OBI group had a significantly higher positive rate of the three antibodies anti-HBs, anti-HBc, and anti-HBe (χ2=5.906, P=0.016). The univariate analysis showed that OBI, hypoproteinemia, splenomegaly, and ascites were risk factors for adverse events in AIH (all P < 0.05) and were associated with disease progression, and the multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that hypoproteinemia and ascites were independent risk factors for adverse events (all P < 0.05). Conclusion There is a relatively high detection rate of OBI in AIH patients, and the presence of OBI may accelerate the progression of AIH. -
