Diseases of the hepatobiliary system: focus on rational hepatotropic therapy
Journal Title: Гастроентерологія - Year 2019, Vol 53, Issue 3
Abstract
The article presents data of the modern literature and our studies on the combined use of ursodeoxycholic acid and arginine glutamate in the pathology of the hepatobiliary system. Hepatobiliary diseases today remain a major socio-economic health problem worldwide, occupying a significant place in the structure of general somatic pathology in the clinic of internal medicine. Despite the apparent successes achieved over the past decades in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the hepatobiliary system, some issues are still not entirely resolved or there are contradictions about their treatment. It is known that not all hepatotropic drugs meet the requirements for active components that pathogenetically affect the links of pathological processes, which occur in the hepatobiliary tract. It is rather difficult to justify and systematize the treatment of hepatobiliary diseases with such a variety of causes of damage. The principles of modern therapy for most diseases of the hepatobiliary system include the administration of combinations of hepatotropic drugs. One of the most rational combinations of pharmacological agents for these purposes are preparations of ursodeoxycholic acid and arginine glutamate. These pharmacological agents are the drugs with the most substantial evidence base of clinical efficacy, significantly exceeding that of hepatotropic medications of other groups.
