Abstract

Purpose: evaluation of the effectiveness of diet modification, physical activity, medicinal products Antral, Diaformin and Hepargine in the treatment of patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Materials and Methods. 25 patients with NASH associated with obesity aged 28 to 52 years were studied. There were 17 (85%) women and 8 (25%) men. In addition to the generally accepted clinical, laboratory and instrumental studies, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were determined by ultrasound duplex scan measurement of the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the extracranial carotid arteries. Liver function tests, lipid content, glycated haemoglobin, C-reactive protein were determined in the blood. The duration of treatment was 6 months. Results. The examined patients had an abdominal type of obesity: BMI was 34.81±1.25 kg/m2; WC was 115.82±2.31 cm. After the treatment BMI decreased to 30.34±1.37 kg/m2, and WC to 106.17±1.32 cm (p<0.05). Blood ALT, AST, GGTP were increased in patients with NASH. After the treatment, these parameters were normal (p<0.05 for all parameters). Following the treatment, blood TC, LDLC, TG decreased, and the concentration of HDLC, and coefficient of atherogeny decreased from 5.20±0.13 to 3.27±0.09 (p<0.05), the percentage of HbA1c reduced (p<0.05), the content of the C-reactive protein (р<0.05) and IMT decreased from 1.05±0.05 mm to 0.75±0.03 mm. Conclusion. The basic therapy of patients with NASH includes diet and lifestyle modification. Medicinal therapy with Antral, Hepargine and Diaformin, that have anti-inflammatory and metabolic actions, have a positive effect both on the liver and on the vascular wall. The control of the treatment efficacy in patients with NAFLD should include not only traditional blood tests for transaminase activity and lipid content, but HbA1c, C-reactive protein, IMT which are important for prevention of the atherosclerosis progression.
