Lipid Spectrum

Aim of research is to evaluate significance of changes in the lipid spectrum of blood in patients with chronic pancreatitis with coronary heart disease in the pathogenesis of the comorbidity of these diseases and in the dynamics of treatment with polycosanol. Materials and methods. The study was conducted in 22 patients (10 patients with chronic pancreatitis and dyslipidemia, 12 patients with comorbidity of chronic pancreatitis and coronary heart disease in CHD II-II A-B syndrome of stage II-III functional class) and in 10 almost healthy individuals. There were 13 men, 9 women, 31–69 years old. Patients of two groups in addition to protocol treatment were prescribed polycosanol 10 mg 1 time in the evening during dinner, up to 3 months. To study the characteristics of the lipid spectrum of the blood, the level of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerols was determined (using the Zlatix-Zack-based Lachema reagents (Czech Republic)). The level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was determined using the Friedewald calculation method, taking into account that the triglycerol concentration did not exceed 4.5 mmol/l. In addition, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol and an atherogenicity index were determined using conventional calculation methods. Results. In patients with a combined course of chronic pancreatitis with coronary heart disease, in most cases there is a significant (p<0.05) increase in total cholesterol, low and very low-density lipoproteins and triglycerols. When analyzing the types of dyslipidemia, it was found that ІІа and ІІв types were more common (22 і 25%, respectively), but with comorbidity ІІ and ІV type of dyslipidemia was more often detected. In the dynamics of a three-month treatment with polycosanol in patients with chronic pancreatitis, the cholesterol levels of high-density lipoproteins increased significantly and the triglycerol values ​​significantly decreased, indicating a hypolipidemic effect of the drug and the possibility of using it in combination with statins in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Conclusion. The comorbidity of chronic pancreatitis with ischemic heart disease increases the risk of progression of dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis. This is confirmed by an increased atherogenic index in this group of patients, along with the severity of lipid spectrum disorders. The addition of polycosanol to patients with chronic pancreatitis and dyslipidemia, as well as in combination with coronary heart disease, contributes to the reduction and normalization of certain parameters of the lipid spectrum of the blood. This allows us to recommend a drug for long-term treatment of these groups of patients, including in combination with statin therapy.
