Primary sclerosing cholangitis and primary biliary cirrhosis.
Preview Although primary sclerosing cholangitis occurs most often in middle-aged or younger men and primary biliary cirrhosis in middle-aged or older women, the diseases have some traits in common-unfortunate ones. In both diseases, the cause is unknown, and liver transplantation is the only known effective therapy for advanced cases. Dr Fennerty discusses trials of medical treatments used in a...
متن کاملObeticholic Acid in Primary Biliary Cholangitis.
In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study including 217 patients with primary biliary cholangitis, the authors show that obeticholic acid (a potent farnesoid X agonist) administered with ursodeoxycholic acid or as monotherapy significantly decreases serum alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin when compared to placebo. Pruritus (and serious adverse effects) was observed more frequentl...
متن کاملRegulatory T cells with a defect in inhibition on co-stimulation deteriorated primary biliary cholangitis
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play an indispensable role in the progression of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Although Tregs could normalize costimulation in in vivo and in vitro models, it is obscure whether and how Tregs mediate these effects in PBC. Herein we focused on the quantitative and functional characteristics of Tregs in PBC. The number and proportion of Tregs, and the production of...
متن کاملExtrahepatic Manifestations of Primary Biliary Cholangitis
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune liver disease characterized by progressive destruction of the intrahepatic bile ducts, leading to cholestasis. PBC is known to have both hepatic and extrahepatic manifestations. Extrahepatic manifestations are seen in up to 73% of patients with PBC, with the most common being Sjogren's syndrome, thyroid dysfunction and systemic sclerosis. It is...
متن کاملT-cell autoimmunity in primary biliary cirrhosis.
1. Primary biliary cirrhosis is a chronic cholestatic liver disease with an autoimmune aetiology. The classical histopathological lesion, of portal tract biliary epithelial cell damage, is accompanied by a T-cell-rich mononuclear cell infiltrate and upregulation of cell surface markers suggestive of local T-cell activation and cytokine release. This suggests that T-cell mediated mechanisms play...
