Is ursodeoxycholic acid detrimental in obstructive cholestasis? A propos of a case of malignant biliary obstruction.
Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is the first choice medication for most cholestatic hepatopathies, due to its capability to counteract inflammation and bile-acid-induced liver damage, two common features in cholestasis. However, UDCA is usually contraindicated in obstructive cholestasis, due to the alleged risk of biliary integrity disruption due to its choleretic effect. We report on an 83-year-ol...
متن کاملUrsodeoxycholic acid therapy and biliary lipids-
The effects of four different doses of ursodeoxycholic acid (250, 500, 750, and 1000 mg daily) on biliary lipids were studied in 24 patients with radiolucent gallbladder stones. There was a significant increase in the proportion of ursodeoxycholic acid in bile after all doses, being greatest with 750 and 1000 mg daily. Unsulphated lithocholic acid was also increased in the bile after therapy, w...
متن کاملUrsodeoxycholic acid complexation with 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin increases ursodeoxycholic acid biliary excretion after single oral administration in rats.
Complexation of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) with 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPbetaCD) improves the water solubility and the dissolution rate of UDCA and may therefore increase its bioavailability. We compared the amount and the rate of biliary excretion of UDCA and biliary lipid secretion after a single oral administration of UDCA in 3 different pharmaceutical formulations [UDCA-HPbetaC...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of ursodeoxycholic acid therapy in primary biliary cirrhosis.
Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a safe and effective treatment for patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), but the cost of this drug has raised concerns regarding cost-effectiveness. The aim of our study was to determine the cost-effectiveness of UDCA in PBC. We compared the costs and outcomes of managing PBC patients with and without UDCA. From two previously published trials, the effect...
متن کاملUrsodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) in Biliary Diseases: A Clinical Review
