ABSTRACT
The article examines the influence of the Biologically Active Dietary Supplement (BADS) "Oleopren Hepa" as a hepatoprotective effect in the comprehensive treatment of acute alcoholic hepatitis. During the study, the authors obtained evidence of the effectiveness and functional orientation of the BADS. The materials for the research are the data obtained during the examination and treatment of 60 patients with acute alcoholic hepatitis. All examined patients were divided into 2 groups: 1st group (main), which received dietary supplements; the 2nd group (control) who did not receive this supplement. The average age of patients was 38.7 ± 9.3 years. The study was carried out based on the gastroenterological department of the city clinical hospital. As a result of the use of BADS in the comprehensive therapy of patients with acute alcoholic hepatitis, hepatomegaly was significantly reduced, and a decrease in the levels of total bilirubin, AsAt, AlAT, GGTP and cholesterol was observed. Additional intake of a specialized product enhanced the hepatoprotective effect of the main treatment. According to the tested biochemical parameters, the dynamics were better than in the control group. The use of the BADS, in addition to comprehensive therapy, increases the effectiveness of treatment of acute alcoholic hepatitis.
