Laboratory changes in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) on the background of prediabetes has been evaluated, and also studied the feasibility of treatment, whiсh included omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids and essential phospholipids. 55 patients with NAFLD against the background of pre-diabetes aged 40 to 75 years has been examined. Modification of lifestyle was recommended to all patients as a basic treatment. In addition, the patients were prescribed essential phospholipids in 2 capsules 3 times a day and omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids 1000 mg per day (n=28, group 1) or rosuvastatin 10 mg per day (n=27, group 2). The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated in 3 months, and the long-term outcomes were evaluated in 12 months. Under the influence of the prescribed treatment, a hypolipidemic effect was observed in both groups, but a significant decline in the activity of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase occurred only under the influence of a combination of essential phospholipids and omega-3-polyunsaturated fatty acids. The described results allow to recommend this drug combination in patients with NAFLD and concomitant pre-diabetes.
