Difference in Serum Iron, Cardiac, and Biochemical Indices between Alcoholic and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver

국문 초록 (Abstract)

비록 음주가 간손상을 일으키는 지방간의 원인이 되긴 하나 다른 인자들 역시 지방간의 원인이 된다. 우리는 알코올성 지방간(알코올군) 및 비알코올성 지방간 남성(비알코올군)에 있어 철 표지자, 심장표지자, 그리고 생화학적 표지자의 변화와 차이를 연구하였다. 알코올군이 비알코올군 보다 신체지수, 수축기 및 확장기 혈압, 좌우안압이 유의하게 더 높았다. 또한 혈색소 농도, 적혈구 용적률, 평균 적혈구 혈색소량, 평균 적혈구혈색소 농도, 단구 수 역시 알코올군이 비알코올군 보다 유의하게 더 높았다. 생화학적 지수인 alanine aminotransferase, γ-glutamyltranspeptidase, 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 저밀도콜레스테롤, 혈당, 크레아티닌, 요산 등도 알코올군이 비알코올군 보다 유의하게 높았고, 철 지수인 철, 총철결합능, 페리틴 농도 역시 알코올군이 의미있게 더 높았다. 이러한 결과들은 장기적인 알코올 기인성 지방간이 비음주 지방간에 비해 혈청 철농도, 심혈관 표지자, 그리고 생화학적 표지자들을 더 상승시키며, 이는 심혈관 질환 및 대사성 증후군과 같은 성인병에 노출될 가능성이 보다 높을 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.

Although alcohol drinking may cause fatty liver to induce hepatocytic injury, other factors lead to it. We designed this study to investigate the differences in serum iron, cardiac, and biochemical indices in men with fatty liver and the difference between alcohol drinkers (Alcohol group) and non-drinkers (Non-alcohol group). The alcohol group had higher body indices than the non-alcohol group. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), and right and left intraocular pressure in the alcohol group were higher than those in the non-alcohol group. Hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and monocyte counts were higher in the alcohol group than in the non-alcohol group. Alanine aminotransferase, γ-glutamyltranspeptidase, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose, creatinine, uric acid, iron, total iron binding capacity, and ferritin levels in the alcohol group were greater than those in the non-alcohol group. The present data reveals that alcohol-induced fatty liver has more elevated level of iron indices than in non-alcohol fatty liver as well as biochemical and cardiac indices, indicating that alcohol-induced fatty liver may cause possibility of adult diseases including cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome.
