Hepatitis hyperlipidemia

Alcoholism leads to fat accumulation in the liver, hyperlipidemia, and ultimately cirrhosis. The exact mechanism of action of ethanol in the long term is stiU uncertain. Ethanol consumption over a long period leads to the accumulation of fatty acids in the liver that are derived from endogenous synthesis rather than from increased mobilization from adipose tissue. There is no impairment of hepatic synthesis of protein after ethanol ingestion. Oxidation of ethanol by alcohol dehydrogenase leads to excess production of NADH. 

The most common adverse events reported with sirolimus are leukopenia (20%), thrombocytopenia (13% to 30%), and hyperlipidemia (38% to 57%).11,31 Other adverse effects include delayed wound healing, anemia, diarrhea, arthralgias, rash, and mouth ulcers. Sirolimus has an FDA black-box warning in newly transplanted liver and lung recipients.11 In liver transplant recipients, use of sirolimus immediately after transplant is associated with an increased risk of hepatic artery thrombosis, graft loss, and death. In lung transplant...

Unlike the previously discussed compounds, which inhibit MTP in both liver and intestine, an intestine-selective orally-active MTP inhibitor JTT-130 (structure not yet disclosed) has been reported to decrease plasma cholesterol and TG in guinea pigs with no hepatic lipid accumulation [16]. Although further studies in human are needed, inhibitors that selectively target intestinal MTP might be a safer alternative as a treatment for hyperlipidemia than the liver-targeting MTP inhibitors. 

In addition, the alcohol addicts are liable to other neuropsychiatric syndrome (Korsakoff s psychosis) which is associated with hallucination, suicidal tendencies and encephalopathy. They may also suffer from hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, pancreatitis and hepatitis. 

A 49-year-old man with pre-existing hepatic pathology took rosiglitazone 4 mg/day for 2 months and 8 mg/day for 5 months (114). He developed a bull face and then edema of the eyelids and neck. He had anorexia and nausea. His serum sodium was 110 mmol/1, potassium 3.3 mmol/1, chloride 81 mmol/1, cholesterol 21 mmol/1, triglycerides 33 mmol/1, and his liver enzymes were raised. Rosiglitazone was withdrawn and he was given saline and potassium, acarbose for his diabetes, spironolactone 200 mg/day for edema, and atorvastatin 10 mg/ day for hyperlipidemia. He improved over 3 weeks.

There was a 50% decrease in TCDD-related mortality when the rats received DEHP pretreatment. DEHP administered after TCDD administration had considerably less of an effect on TCDD toxicity, but did alleviate the TCDD toxic effects to a slight extent. The authors postulated that the antagonist properties of DEHP could have resulted from either or both of two mechanisms. One possible mechanism is a reduction in TCDD-induced hyperlipidemia by DEHP stimulation of peroxisomal lipid metabolism. A second explanation is that DEHP altered the hepatic distribution of the TCDD. 

Seelbach and Kris-Etherton (72) recently examined the effect of a vigorous ten-week exercise program on hepatic lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride production in obese and lean Zucker rats. (The obese Zucker rat has a marked hyperlipidemia with elevations of all plasma lipoprotein fractions, and the lean Zucker rat has a plasma lipoprotein profile similar to that of other lean rats. The use of both lean and obese strains provides information on the effect of exercise on hepatic lipoprotein production and... 

Some species from Bupleurum genus are often used in combination with other plants as antihepatotoxic, antipyretic, analgesic, sedative and antidepresive agents. Saikosaponins extracted from B. falcatum are reported to have another variety of therapeutic activities such as alleviating hyperlipidemia, hepatic injury and chronic hepatitis as well as cardiac activities. 

Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by proteinuria greater than 3.5 g/day per 1.73 m, hypoproteinemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. A hypercoagulable state may also be present in some patients. The syndrome may be the result of primary diseases of the glomerulus, or be associated with systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, lupus, amyloidosis, and preeclampsia. Hypoproteinemia, especially hypoal-buminemia, results from increased urinary loss of albumin and an increased rate of catabolism of filtered albumin by proximal tubular cells. The compensatory increase in hepatic synthesis of albumin is insufficient to replenish the protein loss, probably because of malnutrition.
