Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare genetic disorder with multi-system involvement. Liver fibrosis is a long-term complication of GD, potentially leading to cirrhosis, end-stage liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma. There are currently no validated clinical tools for the monitoring of liver fibrosis in patients with GD. In this study, we aim at assessing the validity of common fibrosis-predicting scores, developed for other diseases, for the use in GD, using transient elastography as a gold-standard, as well as developing the first GD-specific liver fibrosis predicting score. We enrolled 19 adult patients with GD who had been on treatment for a minimum of 1 year on enzyme replacement therapy or substrate reduction therapy and who had no evidence of any other liver disease except GD or metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which is a common comorbidity of GD. We analyzed the correlation between liver stiffness and genotype, treatment modality (imiglucerase or other therapies), clinical severity, and clinical laboratory tests. We found that the common liver fibrosis scores APRI, FIB-4, and NFS did not accurately predict liver fibrosis in people with GD. We also found that male sex, the DS3 score, AST, and GGT levels significantly correlated with liver stiffness, and used these to create a simple but accurate fibrosis-predicting score specifically for GD (the "Gaucher liver fibrosis score", or GLFS), with high accuracy (AUC = 0.8571, p = 0.0206). We believe that our new GLFS may be used in clinical practice to help prioritize GD patients for closer monitoring of liver fibrosis.
戈谢病是一种罕见的多系统累及的遗传性疾病。肝纤维化是GD的长期并发症,可能导致肝硬化、终末期肝病和肝细胞癌。目前还没有有效的临床工具来监测GD患者的肝纤维化。在这项研究中,我们的目标是评估用于其他疾病的常见纤维化预测评分的有效性,使用瞬变弹性成像作为金标准,以及开发第一个GD特异性肝纤维化预测评分。我们招募了19名患有GD的成年患者,他们接受了至少1年的酶替代治疗或底物减少治疗,除了GD或代谢相关脂肪变性肝病(MASLD)外,没有任何其他肝脏疾病的证据,这是GD的常见合并症。我们分析了肝僵硬与基因型、治疗方式(依米格鲁糖酶或其他治疗)、临床严重程度和临床实验室检查之间的相关性。我们发现常见肝纤维化评分APRI、FIB-4和NFS不能准确预测GD患者的肝纤维化。我们还发现,男性、DS3评分、AST和GGT水平与肝脏硬度显著相关,并利用这些数据创建了一个简单但准确的GD纤维化预测评分(“高雪肝纤维化评分”,或GLFS),准确度很高(AUC = 0.8571, p = 0.0206)。我们相信我们的新GLFS可用于临床实践,以帮助优先考虑GD患者,以便更密切地监测肝纤维化。
