fenofibrate and Gallstones

fenofibrate has been researched along with Gallstones in 3 studies

Pharmavit: a polyvitamin product, comprising vitamins A, D2, B1, B2, B6, C, E, nicotinamide, & calcium pantothene; may be a promising agent for application to human populations exposed to carcinogenic and genetic hazards of ionizing radiation; RN from CHEMLINE

Gallstones: Solid crystalline precipitates in the BILIARY TRACT, usually formed in the GALLBLADDER, resulting in the condition of CHOLELITHIASIS. Gallstones, derived from the BILE, consist mainly of calcium, cholesterol, or bilirubin.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Patients with uncomplicated gallstones and a serum level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol >130 mg/dl were randomly assigned to open-label treatment with bezafibrate, fenofibrate, gemfibrozil, or placebo for 8 weeks before elective cholecystectomy."5.11Fibrates modify the expression of key factors involved in bile-acid synthesis and biliary-lipid secretion in gallstone patients. ( Alegret, M; Laguna, JC; Novell, F; Roglans, N; Ros, E; Sánchez, RM; Vázquez-Carrera, M; Zambón, D, 2004)
" Several studies have found that long-term use of LLDs is associated with an increased risk of gallstone disease (GSD) in the general population."1.37Long-term use of fenofibrate is associated with increased prevalence of gallstone disease among patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. ( Chang, CT; Hsu, WM; Huang, CC; Kuo, HL; Liang, CC; Lin, HH; Liu, YL; Wang, IK; Yeh, HC, 2011)
