Résumé

Fatty liver disease (FLD) affects approximately 25% of global adult population. Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a term used to emphasize components of metabolic syndrome in FLD. MAFLD does not exclude coexistence of other liver disease, but impact of coexisting MAFLD is unclear. We investigated prevalence and characteristics of MAFLD in patients with biopsy-proven autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), or toxic liver disease. Liver histopathology and clinical data from Helsinki University Hospital district (1.7 million inhabitants) between 2009 and 2019 were collected from patients with AIH, PBC, PSC, or toxic liver disease at the time of diagnosis. MAFLD was diagnosed as macrovesicular steatosis ≥5% together with obesity, type-2 diabetes, or signs of metabolic dysregulation. Of 648 patients included, steatosis was observed in 15.6% (n = 101), of which 94.1% (n = 95) was due to MAFLD. Prevalence of coexisting MAFLD in the four liver diseases varied between 12.4 and 18.2% (P = 0.483). Fibrosis was more severe in MAFLD among patients with toxic liver disease (P = 0.01). Histopathological characteristics otherwise showed similar distribution among MAFLD and non-FLD controls. Alcohol consumption was higher in MAFLD group among patients with AIH or PBC (P < 0.05 for both). In AIH, smoking was more common in patients with coexisting MAFLD (P = 0.034). Prevalence of coexisting MAFLD in other primary liver diseases is lower than reported in general population. Histopathology of MAFLD patients did not clearly differ from non-FLD ones. Alcohol and smoking were associated with MAFLD in AIH.
