摘要
背景。慢性肝病(CLD)引起的高氨血症可以潜在地挑战和损害身体的任何器官系统,特别是大脑。然而,关于血清氨在肝性脑病患者的诊断或预后价值,特别是在急性慢性或慢性肝衰竭的情况下,仍然存在一些争议。此外,血清氨与Child-Pugh肝硬化分级恶化的关系尚未得到研究。目标。本研究旨在解决关于高氨血症与肝硬化,特别是慢性肝功能衰竭患者肝性脑病之间关系的争议。材料和方法。本研究对171例肝硬化患者的血清氨进行了测量,并使用SPSS version 16进行了分析。采用卡方检验和单因素方差分析。结果。这项研究有110名男性和61名女性参与者。所有参与者的平均年龄为42.33±7.60岁。CLD平均病程(年)为10.15±3.53,Child-Pugh (CP)平均评分为8.84±3.30。慢性病毒性肝炎占71.3%。此外,86.5%的参与者患有肝性脑病(HE)。高氨血症发生率为67.3%,男性(N = 81, z-score = 2.4, P < 0.05)高于女性(N = 34, z-score = 2.4, P < 0.05),且与肝硬化CP分级的升高有统计学意义(χ 2(2) = 27.46, P < 0.001, Phi = 0.40, P < 0.001)。肝性脑病患者血清氨水平高于无肝性脑病患者;P < 0.001。结论。高氨血症与肝硬化Child-Pugh分级增加和肝性脑病相关。
Hyperammonemia Is Associated with Increasing Severity of Both Liver Cirrhosis and Hepatic Encephalopathy
Background. Hyperammonemia resulting from chronic liver disease (CLD) can potentially challenge and damage any organ system of the body, particularly the brain. However, there is still some controversy regarding the diagnostic or prognostic values of serum ammonia in patients with over hepatic encephalopathy, especially in the setting of acute-on-chronic or chronic liver failure. Moreover, the association of serum ammonia with worsening Child-Pugh grade of liver cirrhosis has not been studied. Objective. This study was conducted to solve the controversy regarding the association between hyperammonemia and cirrhosis, especially hepatic encephalopathy in chronically failed liver. Material and Methods. In this study, 171 cirrhotic patients had their serum ammonia measured and analyzed by SPSS version 16. Chi-squared test and one-way ANOVA were applied. Results. The study had 110 male and 61 female participants. The mean age of all the participants in years was 42.33 ± 7.60. The mean duration (years) of CLD was 10.15 ± 3.53 while the mean Child-Pugh (CP) score was 8.84 ± 3.30. Chronic viral hepatitis alone was responsible for 71.3% of the cases. Moreover, 86.5% of participants had hepatic encephalopathy (HE). The frequency of hyperammonemia was 67.3%, more frequent in males (N = 81, z-score = 2.4, and P < 0.05) than in females (N = 34, z-score = 2.4, and P < 0.05), and had a statistically significant relationship with increasing CP grade of cirrhosis (χ 2(2) = 27.46, P < 0.001, Phi = 0.40, and P < 0.001). Furthermore, serum ammonia level was higher in patients with hepatic encephalopathy than in those without it; P < 0.001. Conclusion. Hyperammonemia is associated with both increasing Child-Pugh grade of liver cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy.
