Marco Carbone et al.
Gastroenterology, 144(3), 560-569 (2012-12-19)
BACKGROUND, & AIMS: Studies of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) phenotypes largely have been performed using small and selected populations. Study size has precluded investigation of important disease subgroups, such as men and young patients. We used a national patient cohort
Li-Na Zhang et al.
Hepatology (Baltimore, Md.), 58(1), 264-272 (2013-02-15)
The biochemical response to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in primary biliary cirrhosis is a strong predictor of long-term outcome and thus facilitates the rapid identification of patients needing new therapeutic approaches. Numerous criteria for predicting outcome of treatment have been studied
John E Eaton et al.
Gastroenterology, 145(3), 521-536 (2013-07-06)
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), first described in the mid-1850s, is a complex liver disease that is heterogeneous in its presentation. PSC is characterized by chronic cholestasis associated with chronic inflammation of the biliary epithelium, resulting in multifocal bile duct strictures
Marcelo G Roma et al.
Clinical science (London, England : 1979), 121(12), 523-544 (2011-08-23)
UDCA (ursodeoxycholic acid) is the therapeutic agent most widely used for the treatment of cholestatic hepatopathies. Its use has expanded to other kinds of hepatic diseases, and even to extrahepatic ones. Such versatility is the result of its multiple mechanisms
Yan Gong et al.
The American journal of gastroenterology, 102(8), 1799-1807 (2007-04-27)
Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is used for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), but the beneficial effects remain controversial. We performed an updated systematic review to evaluate the benefits and harms of UDCA in patients with PBC. We included randomized clinical trials evaluating
