ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between the liver volume atrophy rate,liver stiffness measurements(LSM) and Child-Turcotte-Pugh(CTP) value with the Laennec histopathological classification in the patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis and its value in the quantitative diagnosis of liver cirrhosis degree.Methods The clinicopathological data of liver biopsy tissue pathological slides,FibroScan,CT examination and hematological detection in 32 cases of hepatitis B cirrhosis were retrospectively analyzed.Liver cirrhosis was divided into mild,moderate and severe according to the Laennec liver cirrhosis histopathological classification.Then the relationship between the liver volume atrophy rate,LSM and CTP score with liver cirrhosis histopathological.Results Among 32 cases,9 cases(28.12％) were mild,12 cases(37.50％) were moderate and 11 cases(34.38％) were severe.The liver volume atrophy rates of mild,moderate and severe groups were (16.75±2.20)％,(23.11±6.67)％ and(35.55±5.70)％ respectively;LSM were(14.96±3.36),(20.21± 3.07),(37.03 ± 16.44) kPa respectively,the difference among 3 groups was statistically significant (P＜ 0.01).The CTP scores had no statistical difference among the 3 groups were(P＞0.05).The cirrhosis histopathological grade had the positive correlation with the liver volume atrophy rate and LSM(r=0.93,0.74,P＜0.01),however had no obvious correlation with the CTP scores(r=0.27,P＞0.05);the liver volume atrophy rate was positively correlated with LSM and CTP score(r=0.90,0.91,P＜0.01);while LSM had no obvious correlation with CTP score (r =0.15,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The more severe the cirrhosis histoathological grade,the bigger the liver volume atrophy rate and the higher the FibroScan detection value;the liver volume atrophy rate and LSM may serve as the quantitative diagnosis indicators of liver fibrosis histopathological severity.
