Abstract

Background: Diagnosing and managing patients with chronic diarrhea remains a clinical challenge due to its broad differential diagnoses. Colonoscopy with biopsy is often indicated to establish chronic diarrhea etiologies. However, to date, no data have been published describing the colonoscopic and histological findings in patients with chronic diarrhea at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital in Bandung. This study aimed to determine the features of colonoscopy and histology in patients with chronic diarrhea.Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional-descriptive design, utilizing secondary data from colonoscopy examinations conducted at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital General Hospital from 2016 to 2019. Participants included adults aged 18 and above who had been diagnosed with chronic diarrhea and had completed both colonoscopy and biopsy procedures.Results: A total of 182 subjects with chronic diarrhea were included in the study. The majority were women (52%), with mean age of 46 years. Upon admission, the predominant clinical presentation was chronic diarrhea without hematochezia, observed in 75% of cases. Meanwhile, 52% of colonoscopy lesions were multiple, with the anal-rectum segment (15%) being the most involved. The most frequent colonoscopic features were hyperemic or edematous lesions, seen in 58% of subjects. The histopathological result from this study revealed that 59% were non-specific chronic colitis (NSCC). Specific histopathological features were primarily found in malignancies and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that is 14% 12%, respectively.Conclusion: Chronic diarrhea without hematochezia was the most common objective for referring patients to colonoscopy. The most frequently observed lesion was hyperemic mucosa. Moreover, the NSCC was frequent in histopathological evaluation, followed by malignancies and IBD .

Abstract

Background: Transient elastography (TE) is widely recognized as a reliable surrogate marker for grading the severity of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Mac-2 binding protein of glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) is a novel non-invasive serum biomarker for liver fibrosis staging in various liver diseases, including CHB. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation of M2BPGi and liver stiffness (LS), as measured through TE, in predicting the degree of liver fibrosis in CHB patients.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, between September 2021 and January 2022. The study included patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) based on clinical and biochemical assessments. All subjects underwent TE examination using Fibroscan®, and the M2BPGi levels were determined with an automated immunoassay analyzer HISCL-800, Sysmex, Japan. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Spearman rank correlation method, with a significance value of p0.05.Results: A total of 119 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) were consecutively recruited (Male:Female = 66:53; median age: 43 years). The median M2BPGi level was 1.04 COI (range: 0.74–1.59), while the median liver stiffness (LS) was 7.3 kPa (range: 5.6–12.5). A moderate and statistically significant correlation was observed between M2BPGi and LS (r = 0.525; p 0.001). Median M2BPGi values by fibrosis stage were 0.89 COI for F0–F1, 0.88 for F2, 1.61 for F3, and 2.24 for F4 (p 0.001).Conclusion: This study revealed a moderate positive correlation between serum M2BPGi level and LS in CHB patients.
