Study Design. A 6-week, open, pilot prospective clinical trial with the intention-to-treat principle.~Participants: The study enrolled 72 adult people (38 women) aged from 25 to 80 years with moderate-to-severe cases COVID and Influenza in comorbidity with NCDs as T2D, hypertension, and NASH. All patients with the ARDs had in comorbidity with one or more NCDs. All patients refused for pharmacology therapy due to: either previous unsuccessful drug results; or an antimicrobial resistance profile; or drug allergy; or reluctance to take medication; or iatrogenic fear (iatrophobia); or a rich failed experience in drug treatment; and NASH.~All the patients were admitted into the out-patient department in 3-5 days after illness onset. The study was carried out in the Republic of Kazakhstan from November, 2020, through July, 2022 at University Medical Center (Astana) and ANADETO medical center.
The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of the fast weight loss on clinic and laboratory inflammation profile, metabolic profile, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and body composition in patients with COVID and Influenza in comorbidity with NCDs.~Primary endpoints: Clinic/infectious/inflammation tests for COVID and Influenza; weight loss during 14 days. Secondary endpoints: fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, blood insulin; systolic/diastolic BP; blood lipids; ALT, AST, chest CT-scan.
