| 1 | Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in liver transplant recipients diagnosed by serum cytokeratin 18 and transient elastography:A prospective study显示文摘BACKGROUND Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)seem common after liver transplantation.AIM To investigate incidence and predictors of NAFLD and NASH by employing noninvasive testing in liver transplant recipients,namely controlled attenuation parameter(CAP)and the serum biomarker cytokeratin 18(CK-18).We also evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of CK-18 and CAP compared to liver histology.METHODS We prospectively recruited consecutive adult patients who received liver transplant at the McGill University Health Centre between 2015-2018.Serial measurements of CK-18 and CAP were recorded.NAFLD and NASH were diagnosed by CAP≥270 dB/m,and a combination of CAP≥270 dB/m with CK-18>130.5 U/L,respectively.Incidences and predictors of NAFLD and NASH were investigated using survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards.RESULTS Overall,40 liver transplant recipients(mean age 57 years;70%males)were included.During a median follow-up of 16.8 mo(interquartile range 15.6-18.0),63.0%and 48.5%of patients developed NAFLD and NASH,respectively.On multivariable analysis,after adjusting for sex and alanine aminotransferase,body mass index was an independent predictor of development of NAFLD[adjusted hazard ratio(aHR):1.21,95%confidence interval(CI):1.04-1.41;P=0.01]and NASH(aHR:1.26,95%CI:1.06-1.49;P<0.01).Compared to liver histology,CAP had a 76%accuracy to diagnose NAFLD,while the accuracy of CAP plus CK-18 to diagnose NASH was 82%.CONCLUSION NAFLD and NASH diagnosed non-invasively are frequent in liver transplant recipients within the first 18 mo.Close follow-up and nutritional counselling should be planned in overweight patients. | Alshaima Alhinai Afsheen Qayyum-Khan Xun Zhang Patrick Samaha Peter Metrakos Marc Deschenes Philip Wong Peter Ghali Tian-Yan Chen Giada Sebastiani | 2021 | World Journal of Hepatology2021，13，12： | 0 |
