[Metabolic correction of dyslipidemia in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as a new therapy policy].

AIM:

To study the impact of infusion therapy with the metabolic modulator remaxol on lipid metabolic parameters and target organ (liver, kidney) function in metabolic syndrome (MS).

SUBJECTS AND METHODS:

The investigation enrolled 90 patients (54 men and 36 women) with primary nonalcoholic steatohepatitis that was associated with insulin-resistance and MS; their age was 21 to 77 years. Every day the study group patients (n = 50) took as a component of combination therapy the metabolic hepatoprotective modulator remaxol intravenously in a dropwise manner in a dose of 400 ml once daily; the comparison group patients (n = 40) received ademetionine 400 mg diluted in 400 ml of isotonic sodium chloride. The duration of infusion therapy was 11 days.

RESULTS:

Infusion therapy with remaxol caused a pronounced blood lipid composition-regulating effect, by reducing the level of major atherogenic lipids (total cholesterol, triglycerides) and improving liver function and renal nitrogen-excreting and filtration function in patients with Stage IV diabetic nephropathy in the presence of MS.

CONCLUSION:

Therapy with the metabolic hepatoprotective modulator remaxol ensures reliable metabolic control and multifactorial correction of risk factors of organ lesions in MS.: cardio-, hepato-, and nephroprotection.
