摘要: 目的 分析血清转氨酶正常和免疫球蛋白G(IgG)低水平的自身免疫性肝炎(AIH)患者临床和肝组织病理学特点。方法 2015年1月~2021年12月新疆医科大学附属中医医院收治的AIH患者61例,采集人口学、病史、血液指标、血清肝功能、免疫球蛋白G(IgG)、抗核抗体(ANA)和肝穿组织病理学资料。结果 血清转氨酶正常组与升高组血清碱性磷酸酶(ALP)水平分别为93.7(71.0,161.0)U/L和193.6(41.0,320.4)U/L、谷氨酰转肽酶(GGT)水平分别为27.9(18.3,104.2)U/L和158.8(62.2,293.2)U/L、总胆红素(TBIL)分别为18.7(12.8,26.0)μmol/L和28.4(16.5,45.9)μmol/L、天冬氨酸氨基转移酶和血小板计数指数(APRI)分别为0.5(0.3,1.7)和3.1(1.1,5.1)、GGT/血小板(PLT)比值分别为0.2(0.1,1.4)和0.8(0.4,1.9),差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01);两组肝组织炎症分级>G2分别占45.0%和56.1%,纤维化分期>S2分别占55.0%和41.5%、界面炎分别占90.0%和100.0%、浆细胞浸润分别占80.0%和90.2%、玫瑰花环样改变分别占25.0%和19.5%,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);血清IgG低水平(≤1.1 ULN)与IgG高水平(>1.1 ULN)组肝组织病理学改变差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);血清转氨酶正常且IgG低水平组与转氨酶升高且IgG高水平组血清ALP、GGT、TBIL、APRI和GGT/PLT比值差异有统计学意义(P<0.01),而肝组织病理学改变差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论 单纯使用血清学指标无法准确地反映AIH患者疾病的严重程度。对于血清IgG和转氨酶低水平的AIH患者也应进行肝组织学活检,才能准确地判断病情。

Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical and liver histopathological features of patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) with serum normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and low immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels. Methods 61 patients with AIH were admitted to Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Xinjiang Medical University between January 2015 and December 2021, and the clinical and liver biopsy materials were retrospectively collected, including demographic information, medical history, blood routine, liver function tests, immunoglobulin G(IgG), antinuclear antibody (ANA). Results Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were 93.7(71.0, 161.0)U/L and 193.6(41.0, 320.4)U/L, GGT levels were 27.9(18.3, 104.2)U/L and 158.8(62.2, 293.2)U/L, total serum bilirubin levels were 18.7(12.8, 26.0)μmol/L and 28.4(16.5, 45.9)μmol/L, aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) were 0.5(0.3, 1.7) and 3.1(1.1, 5.1), GGT/platelet ratio were 0.2(0.1, 1.4) and 0.8(0.4, 1.9), significantly different between patients with normal and elevated serum ALT levels(P<0.01); the percentages of histological activity index greater than G2 were 45.0% and 56.1%, liver fibrosis greater than S2 were 55.0% and 41.5%, interfacial inflammation accounted for 90.0% and 100.0%, plasma cell infiltration accounted for 80.0% and 90.2%, and rose-rosette changes accounted for 25.0% and 19.5%, not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05); there was no significant difference as respect to liver histopathological changes between patients with low serum IgG level and those with elevated serum IgG level (P>0.05); there were significant differences respect to serum ALP, GGT, TBIL, APRI and GGT/PLT ratio (P<0.01)between patients with normal serum ALT and low IgG level and those with elevated serum ALT and IgG levels, while there was no significant difference as respect to liver histopathological changes between them (P>0.05). Conclusions Serum biochemical and serological indexes could not accurately reflect the disease severity in patients with AIH, and we recommend liver biopsy in AIH patients with low serum IgG and normal ALT.
