Chronic hepatitis B virus infection status is more prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

It has not been reported whether chronic hepatitis B virus infection (CHB) is associated with a specific type of diabetes. We sought to investigate the prevalence of CHB status in different diabetes subtypes among a Chinese population.

Materials and methods

This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 381 patients with adult-onset autoimmune diabetes, 1,365 patients with type 2 diabetes and 1,365 non-diabetic controls were recruited from June 2005 to February 2014. The exclusion criteria included: (i) hepatitis C virus antibody positive; (ii) hepatic cirrhosis; and (iii) malignant neoplasm and severe renal dysfunction (serum creatinine >450 μmol/L). Patients were grouped as hepatitis B virus-negative and CHB status.
