摘要:
目的 分析自身免疫性肝炎(AIH)患者的临床特征及肝活检病理损伤模式,以探究AIH患者激素应答与否的影响因素,为临床诊治提供新依据。 方法 回顾性分析2020年12月—2022年12月兰州大学第一医院经肝脏活组织病理检查诊断明确且经糖皮质激素治疗的84例AIH患者。获取患者的临床资料、肝活检相关信息及随访数据,根据患者6个月内对激素治疗的应答情况将其分为完全应答组(52例)与不完全应答+无应答组(32例),根据患者的肝脏病理活检结果将其分为A组(病理损伤为小叶炎,12例)、B组(病理损伤可见明显的小叶炎和界面炎,23例)、C组(病理损伤为界面炎,49例),分析病理学损伤模式等因素对AIH患者6个月内激素应答的影响。 结果 84例患者中,女性占比较高(76.2%,64例),男性占23.8%(20例),患者年龄为(50.6±11.4)岁。2组患者免疫球蛋白G(IgG)、免疫球蛋白M(IgM)及病理损伤模式差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。多因素分析显示,IgG、IgM及病理损伤模式均为AIH患者半年内激素应答的独立影响因素(P<0.05)。 结论 血清IgG和IgM水平较低的AIH患者相对于水平较高者,半年内发生激素完全应答的概率增加;相较于病理损伤模式为界面炎的AIH患者,以小叶炎合并界面炎为主的患者在半年内更易产生激素治疗后的完全应答。 Abstract:Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and liver biopsy-assessed pathological injury patterns in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and to explore factors influencing the hormone response, aiming to provide new insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data from 84 AIH patients diagnosed by liver biopsy and treated with glucocorticoids at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University from December 2020 to December 2022. Clinical data, liver biopsy information, and follow-up data were collected. Patients were divided into two groups based on their hormone response within 6 months: a complete response group (n=52) and an incomplete response or non-response group (n=32). Based on liver biopsy results, patients were further categorized into Group A (lobulitis, n=12), Group B (lobulitis combined with interface hepatitis, n=23), and Group C (interface hepatitis, n=49). We employed t-tests, Chi-square tests, non-parametric tests, and binary logistic regression to analyze the impact of pathological injury patterns and other factors on hormone response within 6 months in AIH patients. Results Among the 84 patients, 76.2% were female (n=64), and 23.8% were male (n=20), with a mean age of (50.6±11.4) years. Significant differences were observed between the two response groups in immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels, immunoglobulin M (IgM) levels, and pathological injury patterns (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that IgG, IgM, and pathological injury patterns were independent factors influencing hormone response within 6 months in AIH patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion AIH patients with lower serum IgG levels were more likely to achieve a complete hormone response within 6 months compared to those with higher levels. Compared to AIH patients with interface hepatitis as the predominant pathological injury pattern, patients with lobulitis combined with interface hepatitis were more likely to achieve a complete hormone response to glucocorticoid therapy within 6 months. -
