静脉曲张患者不建议使用生长激素(伟素)

对于静脉曲张患者,不建议使用生长激素(伟素/生长激素),而应考虑其他更适合的治疗方法。

静脉曲张的治疗选择

药物治疗

  • 对于食管静脉曲张出血,索马托司丁(somatostatin)及其类似物奥曲肽(octreotide)是有效的治疗选择,可降低门静脉压力并控制出血 1
  • 特利加压素(terlipressin)是另一种有效的药物选择,但可能有更多不良反应,如腹痛、胸痛、腹泻和低钠血症 1, 2
  • β受体阻滞剂可用于预防静脉曲张出血,但在急性出血期间应暂停使用 1, 2

非药物治疗

  • 对于反流性静脉曲张,可考虑物理对抗压力措施和倾斜训练 1
  • 增加盐分和液体摄入可能对某些患者有益 1
  • 内窥镜治疗(如硬化治疗或套扎)是控制静脉曲张出血的重要手段 1

严重情况下的救援治疗

  • 对于药物和局部治疗失败的肛门直肠静脉曲张出血患者,建议采用"逐步升级"的方法,先进行放射介入治疗,然后考虑手术 1
  • 经颈静脉肝内门体分流术(TIPS)可用于减压门静脉系统并降低再出血风险 1

为什么不推荐生长激素(伟素)

  1. 现有指南中没有提及生长激素作为静脉曲张治疗的选择 1
  2. 对于静脉曲张出血,指南明确推荐的药物包括索马托司丁、奥曲肽和特利加压素 1
  3. 生长激素可能会刺激组织生长,理论上可能加重已有的静脉曲张问题

静脉曲张治疗的注意事项

  • 急性出血期间应暂停使用β受体阻滞剂,因为它们会降低血压并抑制与出血相关的生理性心率增加 1
  • 特利加压素在临床上有显著的血管收缩作用,可能导致肠系膜或心肌缺血,应谨慎使用 1
  • 对于静脉曲张出血患者,应考虑短期预防性抗生素治疗,以降低自发性细菌性腹膜炎的风险 1

总之,静脉曲张的治疗应根据病情选择合适的药物和非药物治疗方法,目前没有证据支持使用生长激素(伟素)治疗静脉曲张。推荐的药物包括索马托司丁、奥曲肽和特利加压素,而不是生长激素。
