However, several studies have indicated that liver stiffness can be significantly influenced by major changes in aminotransferase in patients with chronic viral hepatitis. The aim of this study was to determine the factors influencing liver stiffness in patients with chronic liver disease. Methods: We studied 158 patients with chronic liver disease who underwent transient elastography and liver biopsy sampling. Histologic findings on fibrosis and necroinflammatory activity in the biopsy specimens were evaluated according to the Korean Society of Pathologists Scoring System. Routine biochemical tests were performed according to standard methods. Results: Liver stiffness was strongly correlated with liver fibrosis stage (Spearman coefficient=0.636, P<0.001), lobular activity (Spearman coefficient=0.359, P<0.001), and portoperiportal activity grade (Spearman coefficient=0.448, P<0.001). Liver stiffness was significantly associated with serum levels of total bilirubin (P=0.025), direct bilirubin (P=0.049), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (P=0.014), platelet count (P=0.004), albumin (P<0.001), and international normalized ratio (P<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that fibrosis stage (B 3.50, P=0.009) and lobular activity grade (B 3.25, P=0.047) were independently associated with liver stiffness. Conclusions: Liver stiffness as measured by transient elastography is associated with the grade of necroinflammatory activity and the stage of fibrosis, irrespective of serum ALT levels.

Da Mi Lee, et al. Factors associated with liver stiffness 서론간섬유화정도를평가하는것은만성간염에서질환의진행예측과치료의결정에중요하며, 간경변증으로의진행과합병증을예방하는데에도필수적이다. 1 간조직검사는간섬유화단계를평가하는방법의황금률로되어있다. 2,3 그러나간조직검사는통증, 출혈등의합병증이동반될수있고, 환자의거부감이크며간섬유화단계를추적관찰하기위한도구로사용되기어렵다. 4 또한간조직검사는검체채취의오류로인하여 10~20% 의간경변환자에서오진될수있고, 5 생검조직의크기가작을수록진단율이낮은것으로나타났다. 6,7 또한조직생검을통해얻는조직의양이전체간의 5만분의 1 정도라는데서대표성의문제가있으며, 8 병리의사간의해석차이로인하여재현성이낮다는문제점이있다. 5,9 이에따라간생검을대신할수있는비침습적인검사에대한요구가증가하고있으며, 간섬유화를평가하는여러비침습적검사법에대한연구가활발히진행되고있다. 10-13 Transient elastography(fibroscan, EchoSens, Paris, France) 는피부표면에서간접적으로간의탄성률을측정하여간섬유화를진단하는검사법으로비침습적이고재현성이높으며, 비교적정확하고간편하게시행될수있다. 14,15 여러연구에서 transient elastography로측정한간탄성률은만성 B형및 C형간염을포함한다양한만성간질환에서간섬유화정도를정량화하는정확한검사법으로보고되었다. 16-22 Transient elastography 로측정한간탄성률은간섬유화의정도이외에여러요인에의하여영향을받을수있다고보고되고있다. 23-30 최근간탄성률이혈청알라닌아미노전이효소 (ALT) 의상승이있는경우에높게측정되며, 23-25 급성간염의급성기에는실제간섬유화정도보다높게측정되고회복기에감소함이발표되었다. 26-28 따라서간염의활성도가간탄성률에영향을줄것으로생각되고있다. 반면에혈청 ALT치는간탄성률에영향을미치지않는다는보고가있다. 27,30 이를규명하기 위해서는간생검으로확인된염증괴사와간탄성률과의관계에대한연구가필요하나이에대한연구가부족하다. 그외에체질량지수 (BMI), 지방간염, 혈청빌리루빈수치등도간탄성률수치와관련을보인다는보고가있다. 29,30 본연구에서는만성간질환환자에서간탄성률과연관성을갖는혈청및간내인자를알아보고자하였다. 대상및방법 1. 대상 2005년 9월부터 2008년 9월까지만성간질환으로추적관찰중인환자중간조직검사와 transient elastography로간탄성률측정을함께시행한 158 명의환자를대상으로하였다. 간생검은진단또는치료목적으로간생검의적응증이되는경우에시행하였다. 만성 B형간질환환자는혈액검사에서 B 형간염표면항원이 6개월이상양성이었으며, 만성 C형간질환환자는 C형간염바이러스 (HCV) 에대한항체가양성이고혈청 HCV RNA가양성인환자로정의하였다. 연구는모든환자에게연구에대한설명을하였고환자들의참여동의하에진행되었다. 2. 방법 1) 혈액검사혈청생화학검사, 혈액응고검사및말초혈액검사등의혈액검사자료는 transient elastography를시행한시점에시행된검사결과를참조하였다. 2) 간조직검사간생검은초음파영상유도하에경피적으로시행하였다. 조직생검을통해얻은검체는포르말린으로고정시키고파라핀포매하였고, 5 µm 두께로절편한후 hematoxylin-eosin 염색과 Masson-trichrome 염색을하였다. 간섬유화등급및간염활성등급은대한병리학회의만성간염등급체계에따라구분하였다. 간섬유화는간의섬유화가없는 0단계부터간경변증을진단하는 4단계까지구분하였고 (F0, no fibrosis; F1, portal fibrosis; F2 periportal - 465 -

대한간학회지제 15 권제 4 호 2009 fibrosis; F3 septal fibrosis; F4, cirrhosis), 간염활성도는소엽내활성도 (lobular activity) 및문맥역 / 문맥주변부활성도 (porto-periportal activity) 로나누어 0단계에서 4단계까지구분하였다 (G0, no necrosis; G1, minimal; G2, mild; G3, moderate; G4, severe). 지방간단계는육안으로보았을때지방변성이된간실질단면적의비율에따라 4단계로구분하였다 (Grade 0: <5%, Grade 1: 5~33%, Grade 2: 33~66%, Grade 3: >66%), 31 조직판정은 2인의간병리의사가동일조직에대해각각판정한후서로다른판정이있을때는의견을조율하여결정하였다. 3) 간탄성률의측정간탄성률측정은 transient elastography 를이용하여측정하였다. Transient elastography는저주파수탄성파를주사하는피스톤에초음파변환기가더하여진것으로, 조직을통과하는탄성파의속도를초음파영상을통하여측정한후, 측정한속도를이용하여탄성파가통과하는조직의탄성률을계산하는원리이며, 32 탄성률은압력 ( 단위면적에작용하는힘 ) 의단위인 kpa로표현된다. Transient elastography의탐침자 (probe) 를반듯이누운상태에서오른팔을최대한외전시킨환자의우측늑골간에위치시켜간우엽의탄성률을측정하였고, 10회반복하여가장높은값과가장낮은값을제외한값의평균을간의탄성률로하였다. 간탄성률측정과간조직생검의시행은 4개월이내의기간에시행되었다. 4) 통계기저변수들의요약값은연속형변수인경우평균 ± 표준편차로범주형변수인경우는빈도및상대빈도로표현하였다. 간섬유화, 간염활성도단계에따른간탄성률의차이를알아보기위하여비모수적통계방법인 Kruskal-Wallis 검정을이용하였다. 간탄성률과혈액검사수치와의상관관계는 Pearson correlation을이용하였고, 간탄성률과간조직검사상간섬유화단계및간염활성도와의상 Table 1.

Fraquelli 등이만성간질환환자 211명에서간조직검사와간탄성률측정을같이시행하여분석한연구와 14 Pinzani 등이시행한연구에서 38 조직검사상의간염활성도는간탄성률과양의상관관계가있고, 간염활성도에따라단계적으로간탄성률이유의하게증가함을보고하였다. Coco 등은만성 B형및 C형간염환자를대상으로시행한코호트연구에서혈청 ALT값이간탄성률에영향을미치는독립인자로보고하였고, 같은간섬유화단계에서도 ALT값이높은군이 ALT가낮은군보다간탄성률이높게측정됨을관찰하여간탄성률을해석하는데있어서 ALT 변화를고려해야함을보고하였다. 23 또한 B형간염바이러스보유 자를대상으로한연구에서조직검사상의간염정도와, ALT가간탄성률에영향을주는인자이며혈청 ALT치의변동이간탄성률과유의한상관관계를보였다. 24 일반적으로 ALT는간염의활성화를반영하는혈청지표이므로 ALT가증가함에따라간탄성률이증가하는것은간염활성도가간탄성률에영향을줌을간접적으로알려준다고하겠다. 또한급성간염환자에서간탄성률변화를관찰함으로써간염활성도가간탄성률에미치는영향을보고한연구들이있다. 급성간염의시기별로간탄성률을순차적으로측정하였을때, 급성간염의초기에는간탄성률이상승된후간염이호전된후에는간탄성률도감소한다고보고되고있다. 27,28 이와같이간탄성률이급성간염과만성간염의급성악화시기에증가하는것은간염이진행하면간문맥주변으로염증세포의침윤이많아지고삼출물이간실질조직으로나오게되며, 간세포괴사, 간세포부종, 혈관충혈등의조직학적변화가발생한다. 이러한변화에의하여간실질의밀도가높아지게되고파동의전달에변화가생기며간탄성률을증가시키게된다. 23,28,35 따라서급성간염또는만성간염의급성악화시기에는간탄성률이실제간섬유화정도보다높게측정될수있음을고려해야할것이다. 본논문에서는간탄성률은간조직상의간염활성도와는상관관계가있었으나간염활성도를반영하는혈청지표인 ALT, AST 수치와는유의한상관관계가관찰되지않았다. 국내의연구에서도 ALT, AST값은간탄성률과유의한상관관계를보여주지못하였다. 27,28,30 이러한차이는우선간탄성 - 470 -

이다미외 9 인. 간탄력도측정에영향을미치는요인분석 률은조직학적간염활성도에따라변화하는것일뿐 ALT와는직접적인관련이없기때문으로생각된다. 서등은급성간염시기별로간탄성률을측정한결과간탄성률은급성간염의증상이시작된지 8~9일에최고치를보이는데비하여 ALT는증상시작 6일에최고치를보이는것을관찰하였으며따라서간탄성률은 ALT와는직접적관련없이급성간염의시기에따라서변화하는것임을보고하였다. 27 서등은 ALT 보다는혈청총빌리루빈수치가간탄성률에영향을미치는독립인자였다고보고하였는데. 27,30 본연구에서도총빌리루빈과직접빌리루빈은간탄성률과양의상관관계를보여주었다. 또한 ALT가간탄성률과유의한상관관계를보이지않은것은 ALT, AST치가간염환자에서조직학적인간염활성도를정확히반영하지못하기때문으로생각된다. 36,37 대부분의논문이간염활성도를간접적으로나타내는 ALT, AST 수치와비교한데비하여본연구는대상환자군에서간조직검사와간탄성률측정을모두시행하여간섬유화및간염활성도단계가간탄성률과연관을보임을확인하였다. 그러나본연구는간조직검사를받은환자들을대상으로시행되어간질환이비교적심한환자들이선택되었는데, 따라서대상환자들의평균 ALT 및 AST 수치가높고간섬유화의단계도 F2 이상이 83.6% 로높아이들변수가정규분포를보이지않는다는점에서선택오류가발생하였을한계점이있다. Poggio 등은지방간이간탄성률과밀접한관련이있으며, 지방간이있는환자에서간탄성률이더높게나타난다고보고하였다. 29 반면지방간이간탄성률과관련이없다는보고도있다. 39,40 본연구에서는지방간단계와간탄성률과는유의한관련성이없는것으로나타났으나 1단계이상의지방간환자수가적어통계적의미를갖지못할것으로생각된다. 지방간이간탄성률에미치는영향에대하여는아직논란이있으며많은수의지방간환자에서의분석이필요할것으로생각된다. 결론적으로만성간질환에서 transient elastography 를이용한간탄성률의측정은간섬유화를 평가하는데비교적정확한검사이나간섬유화정도뿐만아니라간내염증활성도에의해서도영향을받음을확인하였으며. 간탄성률을해석하는데있어서간섬유화및간내염증정도를모두고려해야할것으로생각된다. 요 목적 : 본논문은만성간질환환자를대상으로간탄성률측정에영향을미치는요인을알아보기위해연구를시행하였다. 대상과방법 : Transient elastography와간조직검사를시행한만성간질환환자 158명을대상으로혈액검사및간조직소견을분석하였으며, 간조직검사결과는대한병리학회기준에따라 0~4단계로분류하였다. 결과 : 간탄성률은간조직생검으로확인한간섬유화정도와유의한상관관계를보였다 (P=0.636. P<0.001). 간염의소엽내활성도및문맥역 / 문맥주변부활성도가높아질수록간탄성률측정치도증가하였으며, spearman 상관계수가각각 0.359(P<0.001), 0.448 (P<0.001) 로유의하였다. 또한간탄성률은혈청총빌리루빈치, 직접빌리루빈치, GGT 수치, INR 등과양의상관관계가있었으며, 혈청알부민치및혈소판치와는음의상관관계가있었다. 다변량회귀분석에서는간섬유화 (B 3.50, P=0.009) 및간염의소엽내활성도 (B 3.25, P=0.047) 만이간탄성률과관련이있는것으로나타났다. 결론 : 만성간질환환자에서간탄성률은간섬유화뿐만아니라간내염증활성도에의해서도영향을받음을확인하였으며, 간탄성률의해석에간섬유화뿐만아니라간내염증정도도고려해야할것이다. 색인단어 : 간탄성률, 간섬유화, 간염활성도, 만성간질환 약 참고문헌 1.
