Risk Factors for Hepatic Inflammation, Fibrosis and Prognosis in Patients With CHB and NAFLD
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects an estimated 292 million people, and causes approximately 800,000 people deaths per year from liver-related complications including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, remaining a major global public health issue.Meanwhile, with the improvement of living standards and changes in lifestyle and dietary habits, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become another important cause of liver cirrhosis and HCC.HBV combined with NAFLD inevitably develops into continuous or intermittent liver inflammation and fibrosis, which greatly increases the risk of cirrhosis, liver cancer and even end-stage liver disease. We aimed to investigate the risk factors and establish diagnostic models for hepatic inflammation, fibrosis in patients with CHB associated NAFLD. In addition, to find risk factors for liver cirrhosis, liver cancer or liver failure in patients with CHB-related NAFLD.
