Clinical research "Program for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis"

What are the symptoms of the disease?

In many patients, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis has a “silent” status, marked its presence only with weakness and rapid fatigue. In other cases, nausea in the morning hours, bloating, diarrhea or constipation, pain, and heaviness in the right hypochondrium, skin itching are added. In addition, since obesity is one of the important reasons for the development of steatohepatitis, many patients have an increased body mass index – more than 30. It is very simple to check whether this indicator is normal for you: you should divide your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters. For example, the BMI of a person weighing 70 kg with a height of 170 cm will be 70 / 1.7 * 1.7, that is, about 24.2.

How is non-alcoholic steatohepatitis treated?

Patients with an officially NASH diagnosis are recommended a number of measures aimed at eliminating the causes of its development and risk factors. We are talking about a special diet and physical activity. Experts advise to reduce body weight, give up alcohol, and stop taking hepatotoxic medication. Subsequently, treatment with thiazolidinediones, antioxidants, vitamin E is added to the list mentioned above. If the listed measures do not give the expected result, there is a reason to join the perspective of innovative treatment and take part in the clinical research program.
