This study aimed to identify characteristics of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adults with HFE p.C282Y/p.C282Y. The study found that NAFLD was associated with higher serum ferritin levels and a greater prevalence of type 2 diabetes, but did not influence iron removal significantly.
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to identify characteristics of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in adults with HFE p.C282Y/p.C282Y.MethodsWe retrospectively studied non-Hispanic white hemochromatosis probands with iron overload (serum ferritin (SF) > 300 mu g/L (M), > 200 mu g/L (F)) and p.C282Y/p.C282Y at non-screening diagnosis who did not report alcohol consumption > 14 g/d, have cirrhosis or other non-NAFLD liver disorders, use steatogenic medication, or have diagnoses of heritable disorders that increase NAFLD risk. We identified NAFLD-associated characteristics using univariate and multivariable analyses.ResultsThere were 66 probands (31 men, 35 women), mean age 49 +/- 14 (SD) y, of whom 16 (24.2%) had NAFLD. The following characteristics were higher in probands with NAFLD: median SF (1118 mu g/L (range 259, 2663) vs. 567 mu g/L (247, 2385); p = 0.0192); prevalence of elevated ALT/AST (alanine/aspartate aminotransferase) (43.8% vs. 10.0%; p = 0.0056); and prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (31.3% vs. 10.0%; p = 0.0427). Mean age, sex, and prevalences of human leukocyte antigen-A*03 positivity, body mass index >= 30.0 kg/m(2), hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome in probands with/without NAFLD did not differ significantly. Logistic regression on NAFLD using variables SF, elevated ALT/AST, and T2DM revealed: SF (p = 0.0318; odds ratio 1.0-1.0) and T2DM (p = 0.0342; 1.1-22.3). Median iron removed to achieve iron depletion (QFe) in probands with/without NAFLD did not differ significantly (3.6 g (1.4-7.2 g) vs. 2.8 g (0.7-11.0 g), respectively; p = 0.6862).ConclusionsNAFLD in hemochromatosis probands with p.C282Y/p.C282Y is associated with higher median SF and greater T2DM prevalence, after adjustment for other factors. NAFLD does not influence QFe significantly.
