Abstract
Introduction: Dyslipidemia is one of the main risk factors of chronic metabolic diseases. Our previous studies have shown that washed microbiota transplantation (WMT) has a significant improvement effect on patients with hyperlipidemia and hypolipemia in the Chinese population. The purpose of this study was to further explore the long-term efficacy and safety of WMT in patients with hyperlipidemia.
Methods: Clinical data of patients who received WMT for multicourse were collected. Changes of blood lipid indexes before and after WMT, including triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), lipoprotein A, and Apolipoprotein B.
Results: A total of 124 patients were enrolled, including 56 cases in the hyperlipidemia group and 68 cases with normal lipids. The mean observation time was 787.80 ± 371.45 days, and the longest follow-up time was 1,534 days. TC and non-HDL-C in the hyperlipidemia group with 1-4 courses of WMT were significantly reduced ( P < 0.05); TG decreased significantly after the second course ( P < 0.05); low-density lipoprotein cholesterol also significantly decreased after the fourth course of treatment ( P < 0.05); TG, TC, and non-HDL-C significantly decreased in single course, double course, and multiple course, respectively ( P < 0.05). In terms of time period, over 1 year, the improvement in multicourse treatment was more significant than the single and double-course ones. In terms of comprehensive efficacy, WMT restored 32.14% of patients in the hyperlipidemia group to the normal lipid group ( P < 0.001), of which 30.00% recovered to the normal lipid group within 1 year ( P = 0.004) and 65.38% were reassigned to the normal lipid group over 1 year ( P = 0.003). In addition, over the 1-year treatment period, WMT significantly degraded the high-risk and medium-risk groups of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk stratification in hyperlipidemia cases. There were no serious adverse events.
Discussion: WMT had a long-term improvement effect on patients with hyperlipidemia. The effect of multiple courses over 1 year was more significant than that of single/double courses and also had a significant destratification effect on the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with high safety. Therefore, WMT provides a safe and long-term effective clinical treatment for patients with dyslipidemia.
