Bezafibrate
Presentation
- The present report includes, for the first time, bezafibrate among definite causes of acute pancreatitis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Kaplan-Meier curves of MI incidence (in accordance with the time of diagnosis) for the 2 study groups are presented in Figure 2 A.[oadoi.org]
Entire Body System
Abdominal Obesity
- obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia (elevated triglyceride levels, small low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C] particles, low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]), elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance (with or without glucose[oadoi.org]
High Fever
- Influenza-associated encephalopathy (IAE) is characterized by persistently high fever, febrile convulsions, severe brain edema and high mortality.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal
Arthritis
- Abstract A patient with rheumatoid arthritis developed rhabdomyolysis while undergoing treatment with mizoribine concomitantly with bezafibrate.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neurologic
Encephalopathy
- Hyperpyrexia occasionally triggers acute life-threatening encephalopathy-like illnesses, including influenza-associated encephalopathy (IAE) in childhood, and can be responsible for impaired fatty acid beta-oxidation (FAO).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- […] following criteria: ascites, esophageal or gastric varices, ultrasonographic signs of portal hypertension, platelet count 20 kPa), and survival without liver transplantation or liver complications (which were defined as ascites, variceal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy[nejm.org]
Febrile Convulsions
- Influenza-associated encephalopathy (IAE) is characterized by persistently high fever, febrile convulsions, severe brain edema and high mortality.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Convulsions
- Influenza-associated encephalopathy (IAE) is characterized by persistently high fever, febrile convulsions, severe brain edema and high mortality.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
- Extensive workup excluded other possible causes for recurrent pancreatitis in this patient, further supporting bezafibrate as the cause of the patient's acute illness.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Urine
Albuminuria
- Notably, end points that concerned microangiographic manifestations of diabetes were significantly improved by fenofibrate treatment; these included a reduction in the need for laser treatment for retinopathy and reduction in the progression of albuminuria[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Serum
Insulin Decreased
- On the metabolic study day after bezafibrate treatment, postprandial insulin decreased by 26% (p 0.01), and glucose concentrations were lower 2 to 5 h postprandially.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other Pathologies
Brain Edema
- Influenza-associated encephalopathy (IAE) is characterized by persistently high fever, febrile convulsions, severe brain edema and high mortality.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
- RESULTS: Two patients discontinued the treatment after few days, three at 6 and one at 9 months. Bezafibrate treatment resulted in a significant decrease in AP as early as 3 months.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
- […] risk score (mean difference [MD], 0.60; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.25-0.95; P 0.0008) and liver biochemistry: alkaline phosphatase (MD, -238.21 IU/L; 95% CI, -280.83 to -195.60; P CONCLUSION: Combination therapy improved liver biochemistry and the prognosis[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Conclusion: Combination therapy improved liver biochemistry and the prognosis of PBC, but did not improve clinical symptoms or incidence of death. Attention should be paid to adverse events when using bezafibrate.[dovepress.com]

Epidemiology
- BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies have suggested that hypertriglyceridemia and insulin resistance are related to the development of colon cancer.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
- The differentiating activity of fibrates could have significant implications both for the pharmacotoxicological profile of this class of compounds and for the pathophysiology of neoplastic disease.[nature.com]
