We present data from our 4-month research for the effect of Tenofovir, Lamivudine and Entecavir on protection from SARS-CoV-2. We analyzed with rapid antibodies test the status of all patient with liver disease. The total number of examined patients is 478. Their average age is 55,19 ± 12,68. Just 17 from 343 (5%) of those on therapy have antibodies for SARS-CoV-2. 8 from the Tenofovir-treated patients were IgM (+) on a rapid test and 3-IgG (+)(5%). From those on therapy with Lamivudine, 5 were IgM (+) and 1-IgG (+) (6,5%). No patients on Entecavir were positive for IgM or IgG antibodies for SARS-CoV-2.In contrast 14 from 135(10,3%) from the patients without therapy have antibodies. We divided the patients by decades. In almost all decades the percentage of antibodies is two times lower in those on therapy than in those without.
Acute liver failure is a critical condition due to severe hepatic impairment in a person who does not have a history of liver disease. We present a 27-year-old woman with a two-week history of weakness, fatigue, jaundice and pruritus, as well as nausea and vomiting. The patient decided to try bioresonance diagnostic and alternative holistic medicine to rid her body of toxins and parasites. She started taking for 1 month 9 products containing about 40 herbal and medicinal ingredients. Around 40 days after the start of this therapy the patient was transferred to our unit due to the prolonged high levels in liver enzymes. Upon admission she has low hemoglobin, total protein, albumin, high CRP, liver enzymes, bilirubin, platelets, disturbed coagulation. All viral and immunological markers were negative. We assume that in the presented case the main cause for liver disease and cholestasis is herbal (HILI) and / or drug-induced liver damage (DILI).There is no definitely a clear answer how these ingredients damaged the hepatic function. The cause of hepatotoxicity is thought to be due to a genetic polymorphism in the cytochrome P 450 enzymes or in the immune response, a synergistic effect on multiple supplements. The probable mechanism for cholestasis involves compromised activity of Bile acids transporters.The simultaneous administration of so many substances confuses the detoxifying function of the liver, which can be expected. The natural origin of herbs does not deprive them of chemical structure and interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
