Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

The problem of modern medicine and modern society is a comorbid patient with metabolic disorders. Hypothetical portrait of such a patient: over 40 years old, overweight, arterial hypertension, coronary atherosclerosis, impaired carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, liver steatosis or steato-hepatitis, often with changes in the function of the musculoskeletal system. Rational pharmacotherapy of this patient is of fundamental importance. The article analyzes, from the point of view of polypotency, efficacy and safety, the main drugs used in Russia for treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in comorbid patients. Attention is paid to vitamin E, glycyrrhizin, ursodeoxycholic acid. Domestic and foreign studies of these drugs are analyzed, and the scope of their rational use is shown: reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications, a positive effect on the lipid spectrum, reducing the activity of serum transaminases and other hepatotropic effects. Their side effects are also considered, which should be taken into account when choosing the treatment of a comorbid patient. We have analyzed the efficacy and safety of new molecules that are in clinical trials and/or have not yet been registered in our country, e.g. obeticholic acid, cenicriviroc, tropifexor, etc. The ability of some molecules to act as biological enhancers is also highlighted, which is important to consider when prescribing combination therapy. Doctors are recommended to carefully consider and take into account all the features of a comorbid patient and choose for this category of patients safe drugs of hepatotropic action with simultaneous positive effect on the cardiovascular system. Among other things, it will avoid polypragmasy.

The aim: Was increase the effectiveness of treatment in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comorbid with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by using ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in combination with ademethionine. Materials and methods: Under observation was 98 patients with a diagnosis of NAFLD and COPD group II or their combination. Patients were divided into 3 groups: 1 (n = 36) – COPD + NASH – in addition to standard COPD therapy received UDCA 15 mg / kg / day – 6 months and ademethionine 1000 mg IV once a day for 10 days, followed by oral administration of 500 mg 2 times per day – 20 days, and group 2 (n = 32) – COPD + hepatic steatosis – in addition to standard therapy – UDCA 15 mg / kg / day – 6 months. Group 3 (n = 30) – COPD received standard therapy for COPD. Results: UDCA with ademethionine on the background of standard COPD therapy reduces the clinical manifestations of NAFLD and normalizes liver function. The combination of UDCA with ademethionine not only has a positive effect on the course of NAFLD, but also reduces the intensity of dyspnea, systemic inflammation, improves the external respiration function and reduces anxiety and depression. Patients receiving UDCA + ademethionine for 6 months of follow-up had no exacerbations of COPD. Conclusions: UDCA in combination with ademethionine in COPD courses have a positive effect on the course of NAFLD, and also reduces the intensity of dyspnea, improves the external respiratory function and reduces the frequency of COPD hospitalization.

Background. Drug treatment of non-alcoholic fatty and alcoholic liver disease remains an urgent, unsolved problem. Due to the commonality of many pathogenetic mechanisms and predictors of progression, a universal approach to the search for a therapeutic agent can be considered. Aims pooled analysis of the results of two multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of a fixed combination of glycyrrhizic acid and essential phospholipids in two dosage forms to study its efficacy and safety in non-alcoholic fatty and alcoholic liver disease, in the presence and absence of predictors of disease progression. Methods. The pooled analysis included 180 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (Gepard study) and 120 patients with alcoholic liver disease (Jaguar study). Patients of the main group received a fixed combination of 5.0 g intravenous jet 3 times a week for the first 2 weeks; then 2 capsules 3 times a day for the next 10 weeks. Patients in the control group received placebo according to the same scheme. The total duration of treatment was 12 weeks in the Gepard study (1 course of stepwise therapy) and 24 weeks in the Jaguar study (2 courses of stepwise therapy). A comparative analysis of the efficacy and safety of a fixed combination and a placebo was carried out, in the presence and absence of predictors of progression, separately for each nosology and in a mixed sample. Results. In patients with non-alcoholic fatty and alcoholic liver disease who received the fixed combination, in contrast to the placebo group, there was a statistically more significant decrease in the level of biochemical markers of inflammation alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, adiponectin, and the value of the AktiTest index. There was no negative trend in the NAFLD fibrosis score; more significant positive dynamics of FibroTest is shown. Predictors of disease progression hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, age did not have a negative impact on the results in the study group. The efficacy of the study drug was noted in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and normal body weight; data were obtained indicating its possible effectiveness with a high activity of the inflammatory process associated with alcoholic liver damage. The frequency of adverse events in the study and control groups was comparable. Conclusions. Based on a generalized analysis of the results of two studies, promising directions for the study and use of a fixed combination of glycyrrhizic acid and essential phospholipids were identified: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease without obesity, alcoholic steatohepatitis of high activity (as an adjuvant); steatohepatitis of non-alcoholic and alcoholic etiology, combined with hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.
