Abstract
Aim. To optimise the curation of patients with a comorbid course of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) to explore pathogenetically-based targets of high cardiovascular risk (CVR) formation.
Materials and methods. An open comparative study was conducted with the formation of a cohort of 126 patients with comorbid course of NAFLD and CVD with different stages of liver fibrosis, who were divided into comparison groups according to SCORE-2 and SCORE-2-OR. Collection of complaints, medical and life history, examination, general laboratory investigations and examination of hormonal status, abdominal ultrasound, EchoCG and liver elastometry to assess the severity of fibrosis were performed. Work with the study data and graphical analysis was performed using Microsoft Office 2019 software package statistical analysis using STATISTICA 12.0.
Results. SCORE-2 risk increased with increasing age of patients (z=-5.29; p<0.01). The most common non-cardiovascular co-morbidities in the study sample were cholelithiasis in 35 (66.78%) patients. Soluble leptin receptor levels were lower (z=-8.60; p<0.01) and leptin resistance index was higher (z=-5.95; p<0.01) in the higher cardiovascular group. Corresponding data were also obtained when the changes in insulin resistance index were calculated and analysed (z=-2.15; p<0.01). Fibrosis stage was higher, in patients with higher CVR (z=-3.488; p<0.01), while no statistically significant difference in steatosis level was recorded. According to transient elastometry, patients taking statins had lower levels of fibrosis (z=-3.747; p<0.01) and hepatic steatosis (z=-3.379; p<0.01).
Conclusions. The most common pathology is arterial hypertension. Gallstone disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus are often found in patients with a comorbid course. The risk of comorbid pathology and CVD increases with age. Formation of advanced stages of liver fibrosis, hyperinsulinaemia and leptin resistance phenomenon are associated with higher CVR according to SCORE-2 and SCORE-2-OR. The syndrome of increased intestinal permeability is a possible mechanism of increased CVD in patients with NAFLD.
