Abstract:

Objective To explore the relationship between tuberculin test (PPD) with serum apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA-1) and anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATB-DILI). Methods Totally 541 tuberculosis patients diagnosed at 967 Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA from January 2017 to June 2021 were divided into case group (56 cases) and control group (485 cases) as whether or not ATB-DILI, and the general clinical data of included subjects were recorded. Influencing factors of ATB-DILI were analyzed by binary Logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to determine the predictive value of PPD test and serum ApoA-1 for ATB-DILI.Results The patients in case group were more positive PPD test, decreased ApoA-1 level as compared to the patients in control group, and with statistically significant difference between groups (all P<0.05). The ROC curve showed that strong positive PPD test and ApoA-1 level <1.175 g/L could play a part of independent factors for judging ATB-DILI. Conclusion Response intensity of PPD test and ApoA-1 level has certain predictive value for ATB-DILI, and the combination of the two displays a more higher predictive value for ATB-DILI.
