Several studies have shown that blood vitamin levels are low in alcoholic patients. In effect, alcohol use abuse is considered a chronic disease that promotes the pathogenesis of many fatal diseases, such as cancer and liver cirrhosis. The alcohol effects in the liver can be prevented by antioxidant mechanisms, which induces enzymatic as well as other nonenzymatic pathways. The effectiveness of several antioxidants has been evaluated. However, these studies have been accompanied by uncertainty as mixed results were reported. Thus, the aim of the present review article was to examine the current knowledge on vitamin deficiency and its role in chronic liver disease. Our review found that deficiencies in nutritional vitamins could develop rapidly during chronic liver disease due to diminished hepatic storage and that inadequate vitamins intake and alcohol consumption may interact to deplete vitamin levels. Numerous studies have described that vitamin supplementation could reduce hepatotoxicity. However, further studies with reference to the changes in vitamin status and the nutritional management of chronic liver disease are in demand.
多项研究表明,酒精性患者血液中的维生素水平较低。实际上,酒精使用障碍被认为是一种慢性疾病,它会促进许多致命疾病的发病机制,如癌症和肝硬化。肝脏中的酒精作用可以通过抗氧化机制来预防,抗氧化机制会诱导酶促以及其他非酶促途径。已经评估了几种抗氧化剂的有效性。然而,这些研究伴随着不确定性,因为报告的结果参差不齐。因此,本综述文章的目的是研究关于维生素缺乏及其在慢性肝病中的作用的现有知识。我们的综述发现,由于肝脏储存减少,慢性肝病期间营养性维生素缺乏可能迅速发展,并且维生素摄入不足和酒精消费可能相互作用导致维生素水平耗尽。许多研究表明,补充维生素可以降低肝毒性。然而,需要进一步研究维生素状态的变化以及慢性肝病的营养管理。
