Abstract:Objective To analyze the effect of tuberculosis on liver tissue of the patients with chronic hepatitis B. Methods In this study, 576 cases of chronic hepatitis B complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis treated in our hospital from June 2013 to June 2016 were enrolled into the observation group, and 576 cases of chronic hepatitis B patients in our hospital were selected into the control group. Liver function indexes, pathological changes of the liver tissue, and Ishak scores of liver histology were compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in the level of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, prothrombin time or CD57+ T lymphocytes between the two groups (P > 0.05) The The levels of albumin, cholinesterase, CD20+ T lymphocytes, CD8+ T lymphocytes and CD4+ T lymphocytes were significantly different between the two groups (P < 0.05). There was a significant difference in inflammatory activity grade of liver tissue between the two groups (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in fibrosis staging between the two groups (P > 0.05). The Ishak scores and total scores of debris necrosis and the portal area inflammation in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Tuberculosis can cause damage to the liver tissue of the patients with chronic hepatitis B. The indicators of liver function should be closely observed in clinic, and targeted treatment should be given in time to improve the prognosis of the patients.
