Title: [Evaluation of the efficiency of hepatoprotective monotherapy using succinic acid and methionine for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease at the stage of steatohepatitis].
Abstract: AIM: To evaluate the efficiency of Remaxol monotherapy in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) at the stage of steatohepatitis (SH). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The treatment of 156 patients with NAFLD at the stage of SH was analyzed. A study group included 84 patients who had received intravenous Remaxol, 400 ml, dropwise at a rate of 40-60 drops per minute once daily in the morning for 10 days; a control group of 72 patients had been treated with the conventional scheme. RESULTS: During the treatment, the study group showed a rapider relief of the manifestations of asthenovegetative and dyspeptic syndromes and a reduction in the magnitude of biochemical manifestations of cytolytic and cholestatic syndromes than did the control group. CONCLUSION: Incorporation of Remaxol into the therapy regimen in patients with NAFLD at the stage of SH enhances the effectiveness of treatment.
