A Comparative Analysis of Serum Lipids in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C, Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Healthy Controls

Serum lipids abnormalities are widespread among patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), but the impact of concomitant hepatic steatosis [steatosis, nonalcoholic steatosis (NAS)], as well as distinctions between it and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are not well established yet. The aim of...

The aim of the study was to assess and compare the serum lipids in patients with genotype 1 CHC with and without steatosis, those with NAFLD, and healthy controls (HC). A total of 1010 subjects were included in this study: 366 CHC genotype 1 patients with steatosis (n = 227) and without steatosis (n = 139), 403 NAFLD patients, and 241 HC without fatty liver or other disease, matched for age and gender.

In addition serum lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] levels were studied in 112 CHC and 80 NAFLD patients. The mean levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides (Tg) were higher and the mean levels of HDL-cholesterol were lower in all patients with steatosis (CHC and NAFLD) than in CHC cases without steatosis (p < 0.05 and p = 0.001, resp.). Higher prevalence and severity of lipid abnormalities, including Lp(a), were observed in patients with NAFLD than in those with CHC (p < 0.001). No difference was found between CHC patients without steatosis and HC. Higher prevalence and grade of glucose metabolic abnormalities were also observed in patients with NAFLD and CHC with steatosis than in cases without steatosis (p < 0.05 and p = 0.001, resp.). Lipid and glucose metabolic abnormalities in patients with CHC were dependent on steatosis. CHC with steatosis and NAFLD were associated with insulin resistant type dyslipidemia, with total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol being generally lower in CHC.Valkov I.Ivanova R.Marinova C.Alexiev A.Antonov K.Jelev D.Ivanova R.
