Methods: 15 consecutive ptients with heptic encephlopthy secondry to non-lcoholic cirrhosis (8 mles nd 7 femles, ge yers) nd 33 non-lcoholic cirrhotic ptients without encephlopthy (22 mles nd 11 femles, ge yers) were investigted. A control group consisted of 20 helthy sujects (10 men nd 10 women ged yers). The levels of serum triiodothyronine (T 3 ), thyroxine (T 4 ), thyrotropin (TSH), free T 3 (FT 3 ) nd free T 4 (FT 4 ) were studied in serum smples drwn in the morning. Thyroid function tests were set in reltion to the severity of heptic dysfunction nd to the presence or sence of heptic encephlopthy. Results: Serum levels of FT 3 nd totl T 4 (ut not totl T 3 nd FT 4 ) were significntly lower in ptients with heptic encephlopthy compred to decompensted cirrhotic ptients without encephlopthy (p = for T 4, P <0.05 for FT 3 ). Prothromin-time lso differed significntly etween decompensted cirrhotic ptients (Child C) with nd without encephlopthy groups (p = 0.002). Conclusions: These results suggest tht ptients with heptic encephlopthy secondry to decompensted non-lcoholic cirrhosis re typified y low FT 3 nd low totl T 4, s well s y prolonged prothromin time. Low FT 3 does not oviously put ptients t risk for heptic encephlopthy, nd thyroid prmeters re secondry nd lte events. Key words: cirrhosis; heptic encephlopthy; thyroid function tests Introduction The liver plys n importnt role in the metolism of thyroid hormones, eing involved in their conjugtion, excretion nd peripherl deiodintion, nd in synthesising thyroid inding gloulin (TBG) [1, 2]. Evidence of n ssocition etween chronic diseses of the liver nd thyroid ltertions hve often een reported, ut limited informtion is ville on thyroid function tests in non-lcoholic cirrhotic ptients with heptic encephlopthy. Most studies hve een crried out in ptients with cirrhosis of lcoholic origin. Studies hve reveled tht T 4 levels re usully within norml limits, ut, s cirrhosis progresses, FT 4 levels increse secondry to decresed serum levels of thyroxine-inding protein [3]. T 3 nd FT 3 concentrtions re usully decresed in correltion with the severity of the disese, ut this is still controverted [4]. To our knowledge, there hs een no previous study compring thyroid hormone levels in ptients with non-lcoholic decompensted cirrhosis nd those with cirrhosis complicted with heptic encephlopthy. In this study we investigted thyroid hormone levels in non-lcoholic decompensted cirrhotic ptients with nd without heptic encephlopthy. We lso ttempted to determine whether or not thyroid function tests my e useful prognostic indictor for the development of heptic encephlopthy in decompensted cirrhotic ptients. No finncil support declred.
2 SWISS MED WKLY 2003;133: Mteril nd methods This study ws crried out in 15 ptients (men ge 51 ± 8.74 yers, rnge yers) with heptic encephlopthy due to non-lcoholic cirrhosis, consecutively dmitted to the Division of Gstroenterology, nd in 33 non-lcoholic cirrhotic ptients (men ge 55 ± 7.71, rnge yers) without encephlopthy. 20 helthy sujects (10 mle, 10 femle, ged 49.7 ± 8.45 yers, rnge yers) mtched for ge, height nd sex served s control group. None of the ptients or controls hd history of lcohol consumption. All the sujects were cliniclly euthyroid, none ws known to hve present or pst history of thyroid disese nd none ws tking ny drug known to ffect thyroid function. The min chrcteristics of the ptients re summrised in tle 1. The dignosis of cirrhosis ws sed on cse history, clinicl exmintion, iochemicl, endoscopic nd ultrsound findings, or liver iopsy. Liver iopsies were not performed if com, reduced cogulility or extensive scites ws present. The functionl severity of the liver injury ws determined on the sis of the Child-Pugh grding system [5]. The size of the groups were s follows: Child A: 9 ptients, men ge ± 8.81 yers (rnge yers), Child B: 11 ptients, men ge ± 7.80 yers (rnge yers), Child C: 13 ptients, men ge ± 9.40 yers (rnge yers). 27 ptients hd positive serologicl mrkers for virl heptitis (19 heptitis B surfce ntigen-ssocited nd 8 heptitis C virus ntiody-ssocited), the remining 6 hving cirrhosis of unknown origin. The degree of encephlopthy ws defined on the sis of previously reported criteri [6] rnked etween grde 1 nd grde 4. Encephlopthy ws relted to heptitis B virus in 10 ptients nd to heptitis C virus in 5. Heptitis B virus infection ws ssumed if heptitis B surfce ntigen ws detected in the ser, wheres heptitis C virus infection ws dignosed when nti-hcv ntiodies were found in n enzyme immunosorent ssy (Anti- HCV Enzyme Immunossy kit, Disorin S.A., Mdrid, Spin). Encephlopthic ptients were further divided into two groups, survivors nd non-survivors. On dmission, the following prmeters for evlution of the severity of liver dysfunction were recorded: lumin (n: g/dl); iliruin (n: mg/dl); serum sprtte trnsminse (AST) (n: U/L); serum lkline phosphtse (ALP) (n: U/l) nd prothromin time (n: [INR]). These iochemicl tests were performed y stndrd uto-nlyser methods. Plsm prothromin rtios were mesured with humn rin thromoplstin tissue (STA-Neoplstine CI Plus kits, Frnce). In ll cses, lood smples for hormone determintions were drwn in the morning fter overnight fsting. FT 3, FT 4, T 3, nd T 4 were mesured y competitive rdioimmunossy using DPC kit (Dignostic Products Corportion, United Kingdom). TSH ws mesured y n immunometric ssy method (DPC-UK). On the sis of the ptients nd control sujects thyroid function vlues we clculted 95% confidence intervl for this prmeter. Sttisticl nlysis Student s t test ws used to compre the continued vriles etween two groups. The nlysis of vrince (ANOVA) ws used to test the significnce of continued vriles within groups. All vlues re reported s men ± stndrd devition. The correltion etween serum lumin iliruin levels, prothromin time nd T 3, T 4, FT 3 levels in oth groups ws ssessed y Person s correltion coefficient. P vlue <0.05 ws considered sttisticlly significnt. Norml vlues in our lortory re s follows: FT 3: pg/ml; FT 4: ng/dl: T 3: mg/dl; T 4: µg/dl; TSH: µiu/ml.

Sttisticl nlysis reveled significnt inverse correltion etween serum FT 3 concentrtions nd the severity of liver dysfunction. An inverse correltion ws oserved etween serum iliruin nd T 3, T 4 levels (r = 0.65, p = for T 3, r = 0.298, p = for T 4 ) s well s etween prothromin time nd T 3, T 4 nd FT 3 levels in oth groups (r = 0.594, p <0.01 for T 3, r = 0.476, p = for T 4, r = 0.515, p = for FT 3 ). On the other hnd, positive correltion ws found etween serum lumin levels nd T 3, T 4 nd FT 3 levels (r = 0.634, p <0.001 for T 3, r = 0.397, p = for T 4, r = 0.394, p = for FT 3. Prothromin time ws significntly longer in ptients with heptic encephlopthy thn in Child C ptients without encephlopthy (p = 0.002). However, no difference ws oserved etween lumin nd iliruin levels.
4 SWISS MED WKLY 2003;133: Discussion Thyroid dysfunction hs een reported previously in vriety of non-thyroid illnesses including liver, pulmonry nd renl neoplstic disese, severe systemic illness, fsting, mlnutrition, postopertive stte, physicl trum nd cute infections. Low totl nd free T 3 with norml totl T 4 nd thyrotropin concentrtions in the sence of clinicl hypothyroidism hve een frequently reported in ptients with non-thyroidl illnesses [7, 8, 9]. Severl investigtions hve een performed to ssess the reltionship etween liver disese nd thyroid hormones [1, 2, 7, 10]. Hepner nd Wlfish reported significnt inverse correltion etween serum T 3 concentrtions nd the severity of liver dysfunction. A progressive decrese in T 3 levels in chronic liver diseses hs een descried s indictive of poor prognosis [10 12]. Authors scried this finding to diminished conversion of T 4 to T 3 nd impired metolism of thyroxine-inding proteins. In the present study we demonstrted fll in FT 3 nd T 3 prllel to severity of the disese, nd good correltion etween T 3 concentrtions, serum lumin nd prothromin time. These results suggest tht serum T 3 nd FT 3 concentrtions my e considered sensitive index of heptic function in liver disese. We chose non-lcoholic ptients ecuse lcohol is considered to hve direct toxic effect on thyroid prenchym, s previously descried in chronic lcoholics [13]. Borzio et l. compred cirrhotics with norml sujects nd chronic heptitis ptients. They suggested tht T 3 serum levels inversely prlleled severity of liver dysfunction [2]. Thyroid function tests hve lso een performed in cute heptitis [14]. T 4 hs een found to e elevted in ptients with cute virl heptitis due to elevtion of TBG (possily secondry to relese from injured heptocytes). Our study differs from previous investigtions in tht we determined the ltertions of thyroid hormone level in non-lcoholic decompensted cirrhotic ptients with nd without heptic encephlopthy. We found significnt reduction in serum FT 3 in non-lcoholic cirrhotic ptients compred with control group, the lowest vlues eing found in ptients with heptic encephlopthy. Low FT 3 levels my e due to reduced extr-thyroidl T 4 -to-t 3 conversion, the mechnism eing inversely relted to the degree of heptic dysfunction. We found no significnt difference in functionl thyroid prmeters etween ptients surviving nd not surviving heptic encephlopthy (p <0.375), ut Guven et l. hve reported lower T 3 levels in ptients who died thn in ptients who survived [7, 10, 15]. The reson for this difference is not cler. In conclusion, ptients with decompensted liver disese complicted y heptic encephlopthy susequent to non-lcoholic cirrhosis were found to hve exceedingly low serum FT 3 nd T 4 levels. Depressed serum FT 3 nd T 4 levels, together with prolonged prothromin-time, therefore pper to e chrcteristic of sugroup of decompensted cirrhotic ptients prone to develop heptic encephlopthy.
