Cause of effectiveness discovered for a cirrhosis treatment useful in 40 percent of patients
Date:2/27/2008

orticoids with a greater quantity of bicarbonate in the bile, and an improvement of the production of bile by the liver. Specifically, experiments in animal models and cell cultures demonstrate that only the combined treatment with UDCA and glucocorticoids increases the genetic expression of the human protein AE2 in the liver.

Based on available data, Dr. Medina considers that it is advisable to use combined treatment in those cases which present a poor response to monotherapy with UDCA. He proposes the use of a corticoid such as budesonida, which has fewer side effects than cortisone and prednisone. If, for fear of side effects, we allow the disease to progress, it is very probable that the only treatment will be a transplant. On the other hand, if this treatment option is confirmed as successful, it could reduce the number of transplants required in order to save the lives of patients.
