Abstract

We have examined 40 patients with bronchial asthma (BA) based at the municipal non-profit enterprise "Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Phthisiopulmonology Center of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Council" (Center for Pulmonary Diseases). The patients were randomized into two groups: Group I (17) involved patients with BA, Group II included (23) patients suffering from BA with obesity. The goal of the research work was to analyze the manifestations of clinical symptomatology, manageability of BA, state of pulmonary function, level of leptin in relation to mono- or polymorbidity. The research findings show the decrease in asthma manageability level in patients with combined pathology, particularly BA + obesity + gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), significant negative correlation (r=-0.95, p<0.001) between FEV1 and ACQ-5 data in patients suffering from BA with obesity and GERD. The frequency of nocturnal asthma attacks, heartburn, and sleep disorders tended to increase in patients with comorbid conditions. Features of changes in the concentration of leptin depending on the detected pathology is characterized by the following data. The level of leptin in patients with BA with and without obesity is 4.82 times higher as compared to patients with combined pathology (45.28 ± 10.42 ng/ml), and is significantly different (p<0.05) from the indices observed in patients with normal body weight (9.40 ± 1.52 ng/ml).
