Abstract

Introduction: Hyperlipidemia is considered a prominent risk factor for coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of artichoke leaf extract (ALE) supplementation on the lipid profile of CKD patients.

Patients and Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted in 38 CKD subjects (GFR<60 and >15 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) with hypercholesterolemia (total cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dL or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C] ≥ 110 mg/dL). The intervention group received an artichoke capsule (320 mg) and an indistinguishable placebo was given to the control group twice daily for 6 weeks. Lipid profile and appetite were assessed at week 8 and the results were compared with the baseline data.

Results: ALE supplementation was correlated with a statistically significant decrease in mean total cholesterol (P=0.028) and LDL-C (P=0.005) compared to the control group. The two groups did not show a significant difference in high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (P=0.071) and triglyceride levels (P=0.22). There was a statistically significant difference in appetite between the two groups (P=0.016).

Conclusion: This randomized controlled trial demonstrated that consumption of ALE supplement may improve appetite and lipid profile in CKD patients. 


Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ALE supplement on the lipid profile of CKD patients. This randomized controlled trial demonstrated that consumption of ALE supplement may improve lipid profile and appetite in these patients.
