Other Clinical Trial - Efficacy of Phosphatidylcholine in NAFLD

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates efficacy of Phosphatidylcholine in addition to life style modification and patient health education by clinical Pharmacist in the Management of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver NAFLD. All participants with NAFLD will receive life style intervention and half of them will receive additionally Phosphatidylcholine.

Clinical Trial Description

As a result of increasing rates of obesity Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver (NAFLD) is the most common liver disorder affecting 17-46% of adults and parallels the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and its components which also increases the risk of more advanced disease both in adults and in children.

Its pathogenesis is complex and multifactorial, mainly involving genetic, environmental and metabolic factors. New concepts are constantly appearing in the literature, promising new diagnostic and therapeutic tools. Further studies are needed to better characterize not only NAFLD development but overall NAFLD progression, in order to better identify NAFLD patients at higher risk of metabolic, cardiovascular and neoplastic complications. Pharmacological treatments aimed primarily at improving liver disease should generally be limited to those with biopsy-proven Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver ﬁbrosis. Not much therapeutic options for NAFLD are accepted until today besides correction of obesity with hypocaloric diets and physical exercise and controlling hyperglycemia with diet, insulin, or oral hypoglycemic agents. Weight loss generally reduces hepatic steatosis.Essential phospholipid (EPL) as a nutritional supplement is one of the drugs under discussion with significant positive effects as antioxidative, antifibrotic effects and high biocompatibility on NAFLD. ;
