Fibrosis is a dynamic process resulting from the balance of fibrogenesis and fibrolysis, mainly secondary to chronic necro-inflammation related to regular alcohol consumption, metabolic syndrome (NASH) or viral hepatitis. The liver has the property of allowing the reversion of fibrosis / cirrhosis when the necrotic-inflammatory activity is controlled. The balance between fibrosis / fibrolysis and its inhibition depends on many pathways and the hypothesis of the efficacy of a single treatment remains uncertain. Molecular factors in the progression of liver fibrosis should be determined. It is necessary to control the liver fibrosis and thus reduce the risk of carcinoma in this population. The anti-fibrotic drugs are being developed, but so far only alpha-tocopherol and obeticholic acid have been shown to have a significant anti-fibrotic effect in humans. Several new drugs are currently being evaluated in ongoing Phase 2 and 3 randomized clinical trials, but most of them have intrinsic limitations: (i) they take a long time for evaluation (> 3 years), ( ii) they generally require an histopathological evaluation by serial liver biopsies that are invasive and unpopular with patients who are aware of noninvasive tests for fibrosis assessment and (iii) treatment is often a single treatment versus a placebo group with the uncertainty that at 1 or 3 years, serial liver biopsies results are convincing.
Introduction. Statins are generally well tolerated but not devoid of side effects. Quite often it is manifested by asymptomatic increase in the level of aspartate and alanine aminotransferase. In such cases patients to administer hepatoprotective drugs, but most of them used for this purpose are ineffective. The aim of this study was assess the usefulness of melatonin in counteracting the adverse hepatic events from statins. Methods. The research program included 60 patients(aged 47-65 years, 41 women and 23 men)with hyperlipidemia taking atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in dose 20-40 mg daily. The patients were randomly allocated in two groups. Group I (n=30) was recommended to take the same statin at a standardized daily dose of 20 mg together with melatonin at a dose 2 x 5 mg, at 7:00 and 21:00. In group II (n=30) patients took statins with placebo at the same time of the day. Follow-up laboratory tests (AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, cholesterol, triglycerides) were evaluated after 2,4 and 6 mounts of treatment.
