Perlemakan Hati Non-Alkoholik dan Risiko Fibrosis Hati pada Pasien Hepatitis B Kronik

Introduction. Prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing throughout the world due to sedentary lifestyle and dietary habit, including in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). In several studies, advanced of liver disease were more likely observed among those CHB patients with NAFLD. NAFLD might increase the risk of liver disease progression in CHB patients, but prior investigations were still limited. This study aimed to determine the association between NAFLD and risk of liver fibrosis in CHB patients. Methods. All patients with positive serum hepatitis B surface antigen in the Hepatobilier Data Registry, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, were included in this study. Based on abdominal ultrasonography, patients were divided into two group (group I: non-NAFLD – hepatitis B patients vs. group II: NAFLD – hepatitis B patients). Data demographic and clinical examination were collected. Significant liver fibrosis was defined as stage liver fibrosis above 7 kPa (≥ F2). Logistic regression was used to identify NAFLD as risk factor for significant fibrosis. Variables were expressed as prevalence odd ratio (POR) with 95% CI. P values
