Abstract: Objective: To study the clinical characteristics of type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with hepatitis E.Methods: The clinical characteristics of 119 type 2 diabetes patients complicated with hepatitis E were retrospectively analyzed. The results were compared with type 2 diabetes patients without hepatitis E (simpletype 2 diabetes mellitus) and with simple hepatitis E patients. Results: The number of patients between 50-69 years of age was higher in type 2 diabetes complicated with hepatitis E group (65%). HbA1C was lower than that in simple type 2 diabetes group(P<0.01). There were no statistical significant differences between the two groups in fasting and postprandial blood glucose(P>0.05). Compared with simple hepatitis E group, total bilirubin and AST were lower in type 2 diabetes patients complicated with hepatitis E(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in renal function and blood lipid indexes between these three groups. Conclusions: HbA1C in type 2 diabetes patients complicated with hepatitis E was lower than that in patients with type 2 diabetes alone.Thereare no significant differences in other blood glucose indice. Compared with simple hepatitis E patients, there was no further decline in liver function in type 2 diabetes patients complicated with hepatitis E. The three groups had no significant differences in renal function and blood lipid indice.
