Sponsor's own description

Levetiracetam is a widely prescribed antiseizure medication in epileptic children due to an estimated better safety profile and easy accessibility. There is limited and contradicting data about the effect of levetiracetam on serum lipid metabolisms, especially in epileptic children. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of levetiracetam therapy on lipid metabolism in euthyroid non-obese epileptic children. In this case-control study, the investigators recruited 37 epileptic children receiving levetiracetam monotherapy for at least 12 months and 54 healthy controls. All the participants were euthyroid and within normal nutritional status limits for their age. Fasting blood samples were obtained for serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine, total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, Triglyceride/HDL Index, uric acid, CRP, and transaminases at the administration. The investigators would like to show if epileptic children with levetiracetam monotherapy are susceptible to lipid metabolism alterations.
