Abstract Background The incidence of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) has increased worldwide in recent years, but the risk factors of ICC have not yet been clearly defined. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for ICC. Methods A literature search was conducted in PubMed database for eligible studies published from January 2000 to November 2018. Summary odds ratio (OR) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using a random-effects model. Results Thirty-two studies (5 cohort, 27 case control) were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled estimates indicated that cirrhosis (OR=11.96, 95% CI 7.53-19.00), hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (OR=4.09, 95% CI 3.13-5.34), hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (OR=3.94, 95% CI 2.85-5.45), alcohol consumption (OR=2.68, 95% CI 1.97-3.66), hepatolithiasis (OR=14.94, 95% CI 6.41-34.83), choledochal cyst (OR=21.67, 95%CI 10.83-43.36), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) (OR=93.91, 95%CI 43.99-200.47), diabetes mellitus (OR=1.82, 95% CI 1.57-2.11), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (OR=2.23, 95% CI 1.65-3.02), liver fluke infection (OR=2.28, 95% CI 1.30-4.01) and smoking (OR=1.26, 95% CI 1.07-1.49) were significantly associated with ICC. Non-significant association was found between ICC and history of cholecystectomy, hypertension, coffee and aspirin. Conclusions Cirrhosis, HBV infection, HCV infection, alcohol consumption, hepatolithiasis, choledochal cyst, PSC, diabetes mellitus, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, liver fluke infection and smoking are risk factors for ICC.

The prevalence of fatty liver disease (FLD) and that of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) share some risk factors known to exacerbate the course of acute pancreatitis (AP). This meta-analysis aimed to investigate whether FLD or NAFLD carry a higher risk of untoward outcomes in AP. In accordance with PRISMA guidelines, we performed a systematic search in seven medical databases for cohort studies that compared the outcomes of AP for the presence of FLD or NAFLD, and we calculated pooled odds ratio (OR) or weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI). We included 13 articles in our meta-analysis. AP patients with FLD were more likely to die (5.09% vs 1.89%, OR = 3.56, CI = 1.75–7.22), develop severe AP (16.33% vs 7.87%, OR = 2.67, CI = 2.01–3.56), necrotizing pancreatitis (34.83% vs 15.75%, OR = 3.08, CI = 2.44–3.90) and had longer in-hospital stay (10.8 vs 9.2 days, WMD = 1.46, OR = 0.54–2.39). Patients with NAFLD were more likely to have severe AP and longer hospital stay. Both FLD and NAFLD proved to be independent risk factors of a more severe disease course (OR = 3.68, CI = 2.16–6.29 and OR = 3.39, CI = 1.52–7.56 for moderate/ severe vs. mild AP, respectively). FLD and NAFLD worsen the outcomes of AP, which suggests that incorporating FLD or NAFLD into prognostic scoring systems of AP outcomes might improve the prediction of severity and contribute to a more individualized patient care.

Objective: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is emerging as a major public health problem globally especially in patients with Type-2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to assess the frequency of NAFLD in patients with T2DM and to study its associated risk factors. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted from April 2020 to October 2020 at the Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. Adult patients with T2DM were included in the study and underwent abdominal ultrasound for the identification of NAFLD. All the relevant clinical and biochemical characteristics were measured. Results: Out of 384 participants, 236 patients (61.5%) had NAFLD on ultrasound. Patients with NAFLD had higher mean BMI, higher HbA1c, increased waist circumference, raised ALT, higher triglyceride, and low HDL. Logistic regression analysis revealed a statistically significant association with central obesity (OR = 5.448, 95% CI = 1.416-20.959, p = 0.014), higher BMI (OR = 4.435, 95% CI = 2.127-9.246, p < 0.0001), higher HbA1c [> 11%] (OR = 3.602, 95% CI = 1.438-9.019, p = 0.006), and elevated ALT (OR = 3.211, 95% CI = 1.509-6.835, p = 0.002). The highest odds for NAFLD were found for hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 11.624, 95% CI = 5.405-24.998, p < 0.0001) and low HDL (OR = 11.543, 95% CI = 2.590-51.439, p = 0.001), respectively. Conclusions: High frequency of NAFLD along with its associated clinical and laboratory risk factors were revealed. This underpins the significance of screening T2DM patients for NAFLD and assessment for and modification of its associated risk factors in routine clinical practice. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.5.4211 How to cite this:Kanwal S, Ghaffar T, Aamir AH, Usman K.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the risk factors for progression of CKD in patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD including patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 3 (PNPLA3) polymorphism. A total of 344 patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD were enrolled consecutively in this study. Multivariate analysis identified males (odds ratio (OR) 5.46), age (per 1 year, OR 1.07), and FIB-4 index (≥1.30, OR 3.85) as factors associated with CKD. Of the 154 patients with a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min, 30 had a deterioration in CKD stage and 15 developed CKD after 3 years. Multivariate analysis identified diabetes mellitus (OR 2.44) as a risk factor for deterioration in CKD stage, while diabetes mellitus (OR 21.54) and baseline eGFR (per 1 mL/min OR 0.88) were risk factors for development of CKD. PNPLA3 did not affect the change in eGFR. In NAFLD patients, a high FIB-4 index was associated with CKD to increases in the index linked to reductions in eGFR. In order to prevent development of CKD, an appropriate therapy focusing on renal function is needed for NAFLD patients, especially those with diabetes.
