摘要

Macrophage activation seems to be a feature of chronic liver diseases. Picolinic acid (PA) as a macrophage secondary signal causes the activation of interferon-gamma- (IFN-gamma-) prime macrophage and triggers cytokine-driven inflammatory reactions. The rationale for seeking increased PA formation in chronic viral hepatitis is based on the involvement of activated macrophages in chronic viral hepatitis-associated inflammation. The aim of this study was to determine serum PA levels in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection, taking into account the presence of diabetes. We assessed PA and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) as a marker of inflammation in 51 patients with chronic hepatitis C infection (CHC), both with and without diabetes and 40 controls. Compared with the controls, the patients with CHC showed a significant increase in plasma concentrations of PA and hsCRP (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, resp.). The values of PA and hsCRP were more elevated in patients with diabetes than without diabetes (both P < 0.01). The positive relationships were between PA and hsCRP levels (P < 0.05) and the presence of diabetes (P < 0.00,1). We documented that significant elevation in serum PA levels is associated with diabetes prevalence and increased inflammatory response reflected in hsCRP levels in CHC patients. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been associated with various extrahepatic manifestations, and diabetes mellitus is one of these. Diabetes in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection (CHC) has unique and complex pathogenesis, which distinguishes this metabolic disorder from type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this regard, a high prevalence of diabetes has been reported in HCV-infected patients in comparison with other liver diseases. Mehta et al. have reported that preexisting HCV infection may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients with recognized diabetes risk factors. The mechanisms by which chronic hepatitis C infection induces increased insulin resistance and the. risk for development of diabetes have not been completely clarified. It has been observed that type 2 diabetes mellitus occurs in the early stages of liver disease.
