effect of sodium glucose cotransporter inhibitors fatty liver disease patients fatigue assessment

Conditions: Fatty Liver Disease

Summary: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld) has become a major health problem worldwide with an increasing prevalence ranging from 13% in africa to 42% in south-east asia. the term nafld includes a variety of diseases, ranging from liver fat deposition in more than 5% of hepatocytes (steatosis-non-alcoholic fatty liver (nafl)) to necroinflammation and fibrosis (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (nash)), which can progress into nash-cirrhosis, and eventually to hepatocellular carcinoma 1 lifestyle modifications remain the cornerstone of nafld treatment, even though various pharmaceutical interventions are currently under clinical trial. among them, sodium-glucose co-transporter type-2 inhibitors (sglt-2i) are emerging as promising agents. processes regulated by sglt-2i, such as endoplasmic reticulum (er) and oxidative stress, low-grade inflammation, autophagy and apoptosis are all implicated in nafld pathogenesis 2 in non-dm patients, only a small single center study exists which studied 12 patients under dapagliflozin and 10 patients under teneligliptin, a dpp4 inhibitor, for a total of 12 weeks, showing that after this intervention period, serum transaminases were decreased in both groups, while in the dapagliflozin group, total body water and body fat decreased, leading to decreased total body weight.3

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: * non alcoholic fatty liver patients diagnosed at outpatient clinic of assiut university exclusion criteria: - dm patient patient with viral hepatitis c,b patient with hypothyroidism patient with hepatotoxic drugs
