Red Blood Cell Distribution Width-to-Platelet Ratio and Other Laboratory Indices Associated with Severity of Histological Hepatic Fibrosis in Patients with Autoimmune Hepatitis: A Retrospective Study at a Single Center.

Abstract：

:BACKGROUND This retrospective study at a single center aimed to evaluate the role of the red blood cell distribution width (RDW)-to-platelet ratio and other laboratory indices associated with the severity of histological hepatic fibrosis on liver biopsy in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed records from 2097 adult patients who had liver biopsies. Of these patients, data from 72 with AIH and 164 with drug-induced liver injury (DILI) with complete laboratory information and medical histories were included in the analysis. RESULTS We found that compared with patients with DILI, patients with AIH had higher alkaline phosphatase, globulin, and total bile acid levels. Multivariate analyses of risk factors for AIH-associated advanced liver fibrosis in Chinese patients revealed an estimated adjusted odds ratio (AOR) (95% CI) of 1.609 (1.028-2.517) in patients with higher immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels. Patients with higher gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT)-to-platelet ratio (GPR) values had a significantly higher risk of serious liver fibrosis than patients with lower GPR values. Advanced fibrosis risk was higher in patients with higher RPR values than in patients with lower RPR values [AOR (95% CI): 25.507 (2.934-221.784)]. The result for area under the curve (0.821) analysis for lnRPR levels indicated this variable had high diagnostic performance for predicting advanced AIH-related fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS The degree of histological liver fibrosis in patients with AIH was significantly associated with an increased red blood cell distribution width-to-platelet ratio, GPR, and increased serum levels of IgA.
