| Core Tip |
Severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH) has a high mortality rate. Oxidative stress and the depletion of mitochondrial glutathione are factors implicated in injury to the liver. Metadoxine (MTD), an antioxidant that participates in the synthesis of glutathione and inhibits hepatic lipid accumulation, appears to be a novel therapeutic agent in patients with severe AH because it improves their 3- and 6-mo survival. The patients who received MTD were also better able to abstain from alcohol use, which is a key factor contributing to the improved survival in patients with severe AH. |
