Differential Analysis of Clinical Features and Outcomes Between Syndrome of Combined Phlegm and Stasis and Syndrome of Dampness-heat Internal Accumulation in Hepatic Wilson's Disease增强出版
To investigate the differences in clinical features and outcomes between patients with hepatic Wilson's disease (WD) presenting with the syndrome of combined phlegm and stasis and the syndrome of dampness-heat internal accumulation.
Methods
2
A retrospective cohort study was conducted by consecutively recruiting patients with hepatic WD from the Encephalopathy Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine between January 2022 and August 2025. According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation, the patients were assigned into a combined phlegm and stasis group and a dampness-heat internal accumulation group. All the patients received standard treatment. Baseline data, laboratory indicators, complications, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score, and Chronic Liver Failure-Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (CLIF-SOFA) score were recorded. The clinical features and outcomes of the two groups of patients were compared by
t
-test,
U
-test and multivariate logistic regression.
Results
2
A total of 141 patients with hepatic WD were included. The combined phlegm and stasis group comprised 68 patients with an average age of (28.22±10.47) years, including 43 males and 25 females. The dampness-heat internal accumulation group comprised 73 patients with an average age of (30.22±8.79) years, including 44 males and 29 females. Univariate analysis showed no statistically significant differences in age or gender between the two groups. The combined phlegm and stasis group had lower platelet (PLT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine (CRE), total cholesterol (TC), and triglycerides (TG) levels (
P
<
0.05 or
P
<
0.01) and higher total bilirubin (TBIL) and prothrombin time (PT) (
P
<
0.05) than the dampness-heat internal accumulation group. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of hepatic encephalopathy, infection, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, ascites, or gastrointestinal bleeding between the two groups. The incidence of splenomegaly and the MELD score were higher in the combined phlegm and stasis group (
P
<
0.05). The CTP and CLIF-SOFA scores were also higher in the combined phlegm and stasis group, while these differences were not statistically significant. Eleven patients in the combined phlegm and stasis group and 9 patients in the dampness-heat internal accumulation group developed liver failure. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PT (OR=1.794, 95%CI 1.249-2.576), TBIL (OR=1.111, 95%CI 1.026-1.203), ALT (OR=1.053, 95%CI 1.004-1.105), and TCM syndrome (OR=5.420, 95%CI 1.384-21.227) were independent risk factors for the development of liver failure in hepatic WD.
Conclusion
2
Compared with the hepatic WD patients with the syndrome of dampness-heat internal accumulation, those with the syndrome of combined phlegm and stasis exhibit severe liver function impairment and disease conditions. Furthermore, TCM syndrome serves as an independent predictive factor for the occurrence of liver failure in patients with hepatic WD.
