Markedly elevated aminotransferase levels are commonly encountered among hospitalized patients. However, data regarding the trajectory of enzyme elevation and disease-specific prognosis are limited.
This study included 3237 patients with at least one episode of aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase level being higher than 400 U/L between January 2010 and December 2019 at 2 centers. Patients were classified into 5 groups comprising 13 diseases according to etiology. Factors associated with 30-day mortality were evaluated using a logistic regression analysis.
The most common disease leading to markedly elevated aminotransferase level was ischemic hepatitis (33.7%), followed by pancreatobiliary disease (19.9%), DILI (12.0%), malignancy (10.8%), and viral hepatitis (7.0%). The 30-day all-cause mortality rate was 21.6%. The mortality rate for patients from the pancreatobiliary, hepatocellular, extrahepatic, malignancy, and ischemic hepatitis groups was 1.7%, 3.2%, 13.8%, 39.9%, and 44.2%, respectively. Age, etiology, and peak aminotransferase levels were independently associated with 30-day mortality.
In patients with markedly elevated liver enzymes, the etiology and peak AST level are significantly associated with mortality.
住院患者常出现明显的转氨酶升高。然而,有关酶升高的轨迹和特定疾病预后的数据有限。
本研究纳入了 2010 年 1 月至 2019 年 12 月期间在 2 家中心至少有一次天门冬氨酸转氨酶或丙氨酸转氨酶水平高于 400U/L 的 3237 例患者。根据病因将患者分为 5 组,包括 13 种疾病。使用 logistic 回归分析评估与 30 天死亡率相关的因素。
导致明显转氨酶升高的最常见疾病是缺血性肝炎(33.7%),其次是胆胰疾病(19.9%)、药物性肝损伤(12.0%)、恶性肿瘤(10.8%)和病毒性肝炎(7.0%)。30 天全因死亡率为 21.6%。来自胆胰、肝细胞、肝外、恶性肿瘤和缺血性肝炎组的患者死亡率分别为 1.7%、3.2%、13.8%、39.9%和 44.2%。年龄、病因和转氨酶峰值与 30 天死亡率独立相关。
在明显肝功能酶升高的患者中,病因和峰值 AST 水平与死亡率显著相关。
