Structure of anaemic conditions comorbid to alcoholic and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

Abstract

The retrospective analysis of 378 medical records of inpatients with steatohepatitis (SH) depending on its etiology was performed to identify and study the type of anaemic conditions (AC). Among patients with SH of mixed (including alcoholic) etiology anaemia was found in 32.2% of cases, in patients with alcoholic (ASH) - in 36.3%, in patients with non-alcoholic SH (NASH) - in 22.0 % of cases. Macrocytic, hyperchromic anaemia prevailed in patients with anaemia of all groups: in patients with SH of mixed etiology - in 47.9%, in patients with ASH - 56.8%, NASH - 71.4%. Normocytic, normochromic anaemia was registered in 52.1% with mixed etiology of SH, in patients with ASH - 43.2%, NASH - 28.6%.The prospective study of 125 patients with SH showed that anaemia was found in 40.0% of patients with ASH, among patients with SH of mixed (including alcoholic) etiology anaemia was found in 32.0%, among patients with NASH the result was 21.7%. The following types of anaemia were found in ASH: vitamin B12 - deficient - in 17.5% of cases, anaemia of chronic disease - in 10.0% of cases and Zieve's syndrome - in 12.5% of cases. Three types of anaemia were found in patients with SH of mixed etiology: vitamin B12 - deficient - in 16.0% of cases, anaemia of chronic disease - in 8.0% and Zieve's syndrome - in 8.0% of patients. The structure of anaemias in patients with NASH accompanied by obesity of I-II degrees is as follows: B12 - deficient anaemia - in 15.0% of cases, anaemia of chronic disease - in 6.7% of people. In patients with NASH, H. pylory contamination was present in 84.6% of patients with anaemic syndrome (AS), including 100% of patients with B12-deficient anaemia. With ASH, H. pylory contamination was present in 80.0% with anaemia, including 100% of patients with B12-deficient anaemia. In patients with SH of mixed etiology, H. pylory contamination was present in 100.0% of people with AS.
