Abstract

Background and Aims: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a widespread disease affecting people worldwide. With more and more research on the deepening of the leptin, which suggested a close relationship between serum leptin levels and HBV. In this study, we explored the correlation between serum leptin levels and HBV through meta-analysis. Methods: Potentially relevant studies between 2007 and 2017 were retrieved from PubMed, Ovid, Embase, Web of Science, Weipu Journal, Chinese Biomedical, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wan Fang Data. Z-test was used to determine the significance of the pooled standardized mean difference (SMD). Results: We analyzed 16 studies, which involved 884 HBV patients and 618 healthy controls. And then pooled the SMD and calculated the 95% confidence interval (CI) by using a random-effects model from heterogeneity analysis. High serum leptin levels were observed in HBV patients (SMD: 1.16, 95%CI: 0.72-1.59, P<0.00001). Stratification analysis on the ethnicity, study design, and detection method revealed significant increases in the serum leptin levels among the Asian population of the ethnicity subgroup, case-control study of the study design subgroup, and ELISA or RIA of the detection method subgroup. Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests a significant difference between HBV patients and healthy controls. Therefore, serum leptin levels may serve as a prognostic marker for hepatitis B disease.
