Background The potential synergistic effect of non-alcoholic
fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and chronic hepatitis B (CHB) on
hepatic fibrosis has not been well-investigated. Liver stiffness
(LS) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) are non-invasive
methods to quantify hepatic fibrosis and steatosis
respectively. This study aims to use LS and CAP to determine
the effect of NAFLD on fibrosis in CHB patients on long-term
nucleoside analogue (NA) therapy. Methods From December
2014 onwards, we recruited CHB patients on NA therapy and
without concomitant hepatitis C or alcoholic liver disease. Liver
biochemistry, serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and metabolic
parameters were measured. Recruited patients underwent LS
and CAP measurements using transient elastography (Fibroscan,
Echosens, Paris). Significant fibrosis was defined using the
European Association for the Study of the Liver guidelines (≥9
kPa for patients with normal alanine aminotransferase). Metabolic
syndrome was defined using the International Diabetes
Federation criteria. CHB patients with significant fibrosis and
without significant fibrosis (controls) were matched according
to age, sex, NA type and duration of treatment in a 1:3 ratio.
Results 568 CHB patients (mean age 57.3 years, 73.2% male,
90.5% hepatitis B e-antigen negative) were recruited, with 142
fibrosis patients and 426 controls. Median duration of NA
therapy was 76.7 months (range 6-213 months). There was
no difference in the proportion of patients with undetectable
HBV DNA between fibrosis patients and controls (92.3% vs
92.5%, p=0.938). Patients with significant fibrosis, when compared
to controls, had significantly higher CAP (255 dB/m vs
240 dB/m, p=0.009), HbA1c (6.0% vs 5.7%, p<0.001) and
body-mass index (BMI) (25.0 kg/m2 vs 23.8 kg/m2, p=0.001)
and significantly lower platelet count (135 vs 192 x 109/L,
p<0.001). Patients with significant fibrosis were also more
likely to have metabolic syndrome, central obesity and raised
fasting glucose when compared with controls (all p<0.05). In
multivariate analysis, CAP, raised fasting glucose and BMI
were independently associated with significant fibrosis (odds
ratio 1.005, 2.233 and 1.116 respectively, all p<0.05), while
platelet count was inversely associated with significant fibrosis
(odds ratio 0.982, p<0.001). Conclusion Steatosis and metabolic
abnormalities were independent predictors of significant
fibrosis, implying that they could contribute to the persistence
of fibrosis in CHB patients on NA therapy. Identification and
management of NAFLD and metabolic conditions in on-treatment
CHB patients may potentially assist regression of hepatic
fibrosis.
