This study aimed to assess the characteristics and outcomes of patients with a dual etiology liver disease. The study found that patients with CHC and concomitant MAFLD had more severe liver disease than those with viral hepatitis alone.
Objectives Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) can develop in any patient, including those with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). The recently proposed diagnostic criteria for MAFLD provide a unique opportunity to investigate the impact of concomitant fatty liver in patients with another established cause for their liver disease. The objective of our study was to assess the characteristics and outcomes of patients with a dual etiology liver disease. Methods We evaluated 1181 patients including 744 with CHC and 437 with MAFLD. All patients in both cohorts underwent liver biopsy indicating disease activity and fibrosis stage. Results Nearly half (43.1%) the patients with CHC had concomitant MAFLD. Comparing patients with CHC alone with those with a dual etiology disease, we found that the latter had more severe liver injury, hepatic inflammation and fibrosis (all P < 0.001). Interestingly, lean or normal-weight patients with CHC and MAFLD had a similar fibrosis stage compared to the two other subgroups of MAFLD (obesity and/or diabetes mellitus). There was no statistical significance in hepatic steatosis and fibrosis between genotype 3 CHC and MAFLD group compared to other genotypes. Conclusions Patients with CHC and concomitant MAFLD had more severe liver disease than those with viral hepatitis alone. Recognizing coexisting MAFLD in patients with CHC is important for the delivery of holistic care.
