dc.description.abstractObjectives: Hepatosteatosis is very common worldwide and is defined as the accumulation of lipid droplets in hepatocytes. Hepatosteatosis is often associated with metabolic factors such as obesity, insulin resistance, and hypertriglyceridemia. The relationship between chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and hepatosteatosis remains unknown. We investigated the frequency of hepatosteatosis in patients with CHB and to evaluate the relationship between hepatosteatosis and laboratory parameters. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively studied 262 patients with CHB. Patients were divided into two groups, hepatosteatosis and non-hepatosteatosis, according to liver ultrasonography findings. The groups were compared in terms of demographic characteristics and laboratory parameters. Results: A total of 262 patients with CHB were included. The mean age was 45.1 +/- 15.3 years, 136 (51.8%) of whom were male. Liver biopsy was performed in 86 (32.8%) of the patients, 20 (7.6%) had fibrosis, and 163 (62.2%) had steatosis. Among the patients with steatosis, grade 1 steatosis was observed in 30.9 (81/163), grade 2 in 26 (68/163), and grade 3 in 5.3 (14/163). Hypertension, hepatomegaly, and cirrhosis were correlated with the presence of steatosis. Patients with steatosis were older than those without. Fasting glucose levels, low-density lipoprotein levels, and triglyceride levels of patients with steatosis were higher than those of patients without steatosis. High-density lipoprotein levels were lower in the steatosis group. No correlation has been found with gender, body mass index, hepatitis delta virus co -infection, hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA levels, or hepatitis B e antigen status between steatosis. Conclusion: We found that hepatosteatosis is present in a significant proportion of patients with CHB. Although the presence of hepatosteatosis was associated with some metabolic parameters, the relationship between it and HBV parameters was not statistically significant.
