Цель. Изучить влияние сахарного диабета 2-го типа (СД 2) на тяжесть стеатоза и фиброза печени у больных неалкогольной жировой болезнью печени (НАЖБП). Материалы и методы. Для проведения парного исследования «случай-контроль» из 2989 пациентов, проходивших обследование в ФГБУН «ФИЦ питания и биотехнологии», сформированы пары, совпадающие по полу и возрасту, распределенные по группам: НАЖБП + СД 2+ (n=313), НАЖБП + СД 2- (n=313) и контрольная группа пациентов без НАЖБП и без СД 2 (n=313). Выраженность стеатоза печени определялась при помощи измерения контролируемого параметра затухания ультразвуковой волны, выраженность фиброза печени оценивалась при помощи определения показателя эластичности печени. Состав тела пациентов изучался с использованием биоимпедансометрии. Показатели липидного и углеводного обмена, а также активность ферментов печени в сыворотке крови определялись стандартными биохимическими методами. Результаты. При сравнении антропометрических показателей в группе НАЖБП + СД 2+ по сравнению с группой НАЖБП + СД 2-, а у последней – по сравнению с контрольной группой оказались выше масса тела, индекс массы тела, окружность талии и бедер, соотношение талии к бедрам. При этом в группах НАЖБП + СД 2+ и НАЖБП + СД 2- объем жировой массы прямо коррелировал с уровнем триглицеридов крови (r=0,21), гликированного гемоглобина (r=0,32), глюкозы крови натощак (r=0,35) и обратно – с липопротеидами высокой плотности (r=-0,19). При оценке выраженности стеатоза и фиброза печени в группе НАЖБП + СД 2+ по сравнению с группой НАЖБП + СД 2- тяжелая степень стеатоза (S3, 78% против 59,4%; p<0,001) и тяжелая степень фиброза печени (F4, 8% против 2,6%; p<0,001) встречались чаще. При этом у 70% пациентов группы НАЖБП + СД 2- по данным эластографии фиброз печени отсутствовал (F0), в то же время в группе НАЖБП + СД 2+ в эту категорию попадали только 43,2% пациентов (p<0,0001). Заключение. При присоединении к НАЖБП СД 2 наблюдается увеличение общей жировой массы, выраженности стеатоза и фиброза печени и связанного с ними ухудшения показателей липидного обмена. Более чем у 1/2 таких пациентов имеется фиброз печени различных стадий, что указывает на прогрессирующий характер заболевания.

________________________________________________
Aim. To study the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) on the severity of liver steatosis and fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Materials and methods. To conduct a paired case-control study 2989 patients were examined at the Federal Research Center of Nutrition, Biotechnology and Food Safety. Pairs were matched by gender and age and distributed into groups: NAFLD + DM2+ (n=313), NAFLD + DM2- (n=313) and a control group of patients without NAFLD and without DM2 (n=313). The severity of liver steatosis was determined by measuring the controlled attenuation parameter. The severity of liver fibrosis was determined by measuring the liver stiffness measurement. Body composition of the patients was determined using bioimpedance measurements. Indicators of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, and the serum activity of liver enzymes was determined by standard biochemical methods. Results. In NAFLD + DM2+ group compared to NAFLD + DM2- group, and in NAFLDM + DM2-compared to the control group, weight, BMI, waist and hip circumference, waist-to-hip ratio were higher, while in all. In NAFLD + DM2+ and NAFLD + DM2- groups the volume of fat mass directly correlated with the level of blood triglycerides (r=0.21), HbA1с (r=0.32) and fasting blood glucose (r=0.35), and inversely correlated with high-density lipoproteins (r=-0.19). In NAFLD + DM2+ group versus NAFLD + DM2- group severe steatosis (S3, 78% versus 59.4%; p<0.001) and severe fibrosis (F4, 8% vs 2.6%; p<0.001) was more common; 70% of patients in the NAFLD + DM2- group had no liver fibrosis according to elastography (F0), while in the NAFLD + DM2+ group only 43.2% of patients had no liver fibrosis (p<0.0001). Conclusion. When NAFLD is accompanied by DM2, there is an increase in total fat mass, the severity of steatosis and liver fibrosis, and an associated deterioration of lipid metabolism. More than half of these patients have various stages of liver fibrosis, which indicates the progressive nature of the disease.
