ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH),to provide the basis for the early clinical diagnosis.Methods 200 cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) were divided into NAFL group(115 cases) and NASH group(85 cases).Age,gender,body mass index,blood pressure,clinical symptoms,accompany illnesses,biochemical and image index in the two groups were analyzed and compared retrospectively.Results Asthenia,accounted for 40％,which was the most common gastrointestinal symptom of NASH group.and abdominal distension,anorexia,nausea and vomiting,liver area pain and liver were all involved.There were no significant differences in mainly gastrointestinal symptoms between patients with NASH and NAFL group(P ＞ 0.05),but no symptoms incidence of the two group were higher (44.7％ vs 49.2％ ％ P ＞ 0.05) ;the incidence of obesity,hyperlipidemia,type 2 diabetes,hypertension in NASH group were significantly different compared with NAFL(45.9％ vs 20％,41.2％ vs 22.3％,28.2％ vs 15.6％ respectively P ＜ 0.05) ; In NASH group,BMI,fasting glucose(FPG),2hPPG,serum ferritin,hyaluronic acid,Ⅳ collageninsulin resistance index (HOWA-IR)increased significantly compared with NAFL[(28.68 ± 0.92)vs (22.21 ± 0.43),(9.63 ± 0.64)mmol/L vs (4.92 ± 0.78)mmol/L,(12.96 ±0.28) mmol/L vs (7.04 ±0.13) mmol/L,(243.56 ±7.95) ng/mL vs (140.03 ± 6.80)ng/mL,(130.26 ±9.i6)ng/mL vs (74.85 ±6.54)ng/mL,(130.56 ±8.16)ng/mL vs (72.68 ±7.24) ng/mL,(5.36±0.45) vs (2.63 ±0.12),respectively P＜0.05)].Conclusion Patients with NASH had no obvious gastroenterology symptoms.Obesity,type 2 diabetes,hypertension are more with NASH,and there may be multiple metabolic disorders.
