摘要:
目的 探究血清C肽水平对2型糖尿病(T2DM)合并非酒精性脂肪性肝病(NAFLD)患者肝纤维化进展的影响。 方法 收集2018年12月—2020年7月就诊于兰州大学第二医院老年病科的484例T2DM患者,依据腹部彩超检查结果,将其分为单纯T2DM组(n=107)及T2DM合并NAFLD组(n=377),采用NAFLD肝纤维化评分(NFS)将T2DM合并NAFLD组分为3个亚组:排除纤维化亚组(T2DM+F0组,n=136)、不确定亚组(T2DM+F1组,n=146)及纤维化亚组(T2DM+F2组,n=95),收集纳入人群病史资料及实验室指标。计数资料组间比较采用χ2检验,计量资料两组间比较应用t检验或Mann-Whitney U检验,多组比较使用单因素方差分析或Kruskal-Wallis H检验,logistic回归分析探究促进肝纤维化进展的危险因素,采用受试者工作特征曲线(ROC)分析血清C肽在预测及诊断肝纤维化进展过程的临床价值。 结果 相比于单纯T2DM组,T2DM合并NAFLD组患者C肽水平明显升高(Z=-6.040,P < 0.001),T2DM+F2组不仅C肽明显高于T2DM+F1组和T2DM+F0组[2.89(1.84~3.77) vs 1.97(1.12~2.65) vs 1.87(1.25~2.68),H=36.023,P < 0.001],高空腹C肽率也显著升高(56.84% vs 23.29% vs 24.27%,χ2=37.583,P < 0.001)。logistic回归分析表明,C肽(OR=1.435,95%CI:1.227~1.678,P < 0.001)是T2DM合并NAFLD患者肝维化的危险因素,ROC曲线也显示C肽对预测该类患者肝纤维化具有重要意义,曲线下面积为0.814,最佳截断值为2.405 ng/ml,灵敏度为64.2%,特异度为89.7%,约登指数为0.539。 结论 C肽是T2DM合并NAFLD患者肝纤维化进展的独立危险因素。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of serum C-peptide level on the progression of liver fibrosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods A total of 484 patients with T2DM who were admitted to Department of Geriatrics, The Second Hospital of Lanzhou University, from December 2018 to July 2020 were enrolled, and according to the results of abdominal ultrasound examination, they were divided into simple T2DM group with 107 patients and T2DM+NAFLD group with 377 patients. According to NAFLD fibrosis score, the patients with T2DM and NAFLD were divided into fibrosis exclusion subgroup (T2DM+F0) with 136 patients, uncertain subgroup (T2DM+F1) with 146 patients, and fibrosis subgroup (T2DM+F2) with 95 patients. Medical history data and laboratory markers were collected. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data; the t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data, and a one-way analysis of variance or the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between multiple groups; a logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors for the progression of liver fibrosis; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the clinical value of serum C-peptide in predicting and diagnosing the progression of liver fibrosis. Results Compared with the simple T2DM group, the T2DM+NAFLD group had a significant increase in C-peptide level (Z=-6.040, P < 0.001); compared with the T2DM+F1 and T2DM+F0, the T2DM+F2 had significantly higher C-peptide level [2.89 (1.84-3.77) vs 1.97 (1.12-2.65)/1.87 (1.25-2.68), H=36.023, P < 0.001) and rate of fasting C-peptide (56.84% vs 23.29%/24.27%, χ2=37.583, P < 0.001). The logistic regression analysis showed that C-peptide (OR=1.435, 95% confidence interval: 1.227~1.678, P < 0.001) was a risk factor for liver fibrosis in patients with T2DM and NAFLD, and the ROC curve analysis also showed that C-peptide had great significance in predicting liver fibrosis in such patients, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.814, a sensitivity of 64.2%, a specificity of 89.7%, and a Youden index of 0.539 at the optimal cut-off value of 2.405 ng/ml. Conclusion C-peptide is an independent risk factor for the progression of liver fibrosis in patients with T2DM and NAFLD. -
