简要总结
Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is the most common and harmful chronic liver disease, and it is increasingly diagnosed in many developed and developing countries.
Previous studies suggested a significant association between hyperuricemia and MAFLD and that hyperuricemia plays a causal role in the development of MAFLD.
Xanthine oxidase is a key enzyme in uric acid metabolism, and It thus can be considered as is a therapeutic target for MAFLD, so long-term urate-lowering therapy may play a role in amelioration of MAFLD by controlling uric acid levels. So, this study is conducted to assess the effect of controlling hyperuricemia using different xanthine oxidase inhibitors on amelioration of MAFLD.
详细描述
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of urate lowering therapy on improvement of steatosis in metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) patients with hyperuricemia, by comparing two xanthine oxidase inhibitors allopurinol (100 mg/day), versus Febuxostat (40 mg/day), versus lifestyle intervention.
Primary Outcome: Regression of hepatic steatosis. Secondary Outcome: Improvement of Serum uric acid and incidence of hepatotoxicity.
Study design: This study is a prospective, interventional three arm study. Setting: Patients will be recruited from the National Hepatology and Tropical Medicine Research institute, Cairo, Egypt.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in hepatic steatosis .
时间窗: 3 months
FibroScan instrument measures fibrosis (scarring) and steatosis (fatty changes) in your liver. Fatty changes are when fat builds up in your liver cells. FibroScan steatosis result (CAP score): decibels per meter(dB/M). it ranges from 100 to 400 dB/m. The fibrosis result is measured in kilopascals (kpa). It is normaly between 2 and 6 kpa.
次要结局
- Serum uric acid.(three months)
