{"title":"Serum markers for detecting histological features of autoimmune hepatitis and predicting prognosis in patients with antinuclear antibody‐positive drug‐induced liver injury","authors":"Feiyu Zhang, Meishan Jin, Hongqin Xu, Peng Xiao, Yanhang Gao","doi":"10.1002/poh2.71","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/poh2.71","url":null,"abstract":"Although useful for distinguishing drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) from autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), liver biopsy is an invasive examination, and the presence of antinuclear antibody (ANA) positivity in patients with DILI could lead to excessive use of biopsy. Hence, we aimed to identify screening markers for histological features of AIH in patients with ANA‐positive DILI and verify their clinical outcomes after 1 year.This retrospective study included patients with ANA‐positive DILI, who underwent liver biopsy between January 2017 and April 2022. Two pathologists identified histological features of AIH. We detected the independent indicators associated with histological features of AIH using logistic regression. We evaluated their diagnostic ability for histological features of AIH using the receiver operating characteristic curve. The follow‐up period to determine clinical outcomes was 1 year after DILI onset. The χ2 test or Fisher's exact test was used to compare categorical data and the Wilcoxon rank‐sum test was used to compare continuous variables. Two‐sided p < 0.05 was considered to indicate significance.The final analysis included 125 patients with ANA‐positive DILI, of whom 18 had AIH‐like histology. Factors independently associated with AIH‐like histology included globulin levels (odds ratio [OR] = 1.154, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.046–1.288; p = 0.006) and ANA titer ≥ 1:1000 (OR = 3.531, 95% CI = 1.136–11.303; p = 0.029). The optimal globulin cutoff indicating AIH‐like histology was 31.8 g/L. This globulin level in combination with ANA titer ≥ 1:1000 (area under the curve = 0.785, 95% CI = 0.738–0.832) provided a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 57% for indicating histological features of AIH in patients with ANA‐positive DILI. During follow‐up, more patients developed AIH in the group with AIH‐like histology than in the group without AIH‐like histology (35.3% vs. 0, p < 0.001).For patients with ANA‐positive DILI and ANA titer ≥ 1:1000 or globulin ≥ 31.8 g/L, liver biopsy is recommended to determine the presence of histological features of AIH and guide further monitoring.","PeriodicalId":506204,"journal":{"name":"Portal Hypertension &amp; Cirrhosis","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140443380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article aimed to investigate the status of hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement in China in 2022.We investigated the overall status of HVPG technology in China—including hospital distribution, hospital level, annual number of cases, catheters used, average cost, indications, and current challenges by using online questionnaire. By counting the number and percentages of cases of these results, we hope to clarify the current status of HVPG measurements in China.According to the survey, 85 hospitals in China used HVPG technology in 2022 distributed across 29 provinces. A total of 4989 HVPG measurements were performed in all of the surveyed hospitals in 2022, of which 2813 cases (56.4%) were measured alone. The average cost of HVPG measurement was 5646.8 ± 2327.9 CNY. Of the clinical teams who performed the measurements (sometimes multiple per hospital), 94.3% (82/87) used the balloon method, and the majority of the teams (72.4%, 63/87) used embolectomy catheters.This survey clarified the clinical application status of HVPG in China and confirmed that some medical institutions in China have established a foundation for this technology. It is still necessary to continue promoting and popularizing this technology in the future.","PeriodicalId":506204,"journal":{"name":"Portal Hypertension &amp; Cirrhosis","volume":"591 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140446611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
