Dyslipidemia occurs in approximately 70% of all liver transplant (LT) recipients, and no prior control studies have demonstrated any dietary intervention to change it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To analyze the effects of a dietary intervention on the lipid profile of dyslipidemic LT recipients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All LT recipients with dyslipidemia on clinical follow-up were enrolled. Anthropometric evaluation, food history, body composition (bioimpedance) and assessment of basal metabolism through indirect calorimetry were performed. Patients met with a dietitian and an individualized diet based on estimate of basal metabolism and consisting of 25% of the total energy value in total fat and <200 mg\/day of cholesterol was prescribed. Total cholesterol (TC), HDL-cholesterol (HDL), LDL-cholesterol (LDL), triglycerides (TG) and anthropometric measures were measured at baseline and six months after intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fifty-thee out of 56 patients concluded follow-up; age was 59\u00b110 years; 29 were men (51.8%). The analysis pre- and post-intervention were, respectively: TC 238.9\u00b130 and 165.1\u00b135, p<0.001; LDL 154\u00b133 and 90\u00b129, p<0.001; and TG 168 (IQR=51-200) and 137 (IQR=94-177), p=<0.001. They were all modified at six months following intervention. At baseline, none of the patients had normal TC, and only 12 (22.7%) had optimal\/near optimal LDL. Following dietary intervention, 45 patients (84.9%) reached normal TC and 50 (94.4%) had optimal\/near optimal LDL. HDL and anthropometric measures were not modified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dietary counseling with prescription of individualized diet based on estimate of basal metabolism through indirect calorimetry was able to manage dyslipidemia in most LT recipients; so, all dyslipidemic LT recipients must be enrolled on a dietary program.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
