  • 摘要: 代谢相关脂肪性肝病(MAFLD)及其进展形式——代谢相关性脂肪性肝炎(MASH)已成为全球慢性肝病的主要病因,其发病率持续上升,与肥胖、2型糖尿病等代谢紊乱密切相关。MAFLD的核心发病机制涉及胰岛素抵抗、脂代谢异常及慢性炎症反应,可进展为MASH,导致肝纤维化、肝硬化甚至肝细胞癌。目前,针对MAFLD的有效药物治疗仍有限。本文基于PRISMA指南,系统综述他汀类药物在MAFLD治疗中的作用。研究表明,他汀类药物不仅能改善血脂谱和肝酶水平,还对合并心血管疾病或2型糖尿病等患者具有良好获益,且长期使用还可以降低肝细胞癌风险。然而,其潜在的肝毒性及肌病风险需警惕,因此临床应个体化用药并定期监测肝功能。
