Ursodeoxycholic Acid in Neonatal Hepatitis and Infantile Paucity of Intrahepatic Bile Ducts: Review of a Historical Cohort

Abstract: We retrospectively reviewed the role of ursodeoxycholic acid in infants having nonsurgical cholestasis attending the Hepatology Clinic, New Children Hospital, Cairo University, Egypt, from 1985 until 2005. Files of 496 infants with neonatal hepatitis and 97 with intrahepatic bile duct paucity were included; of them 241 (48.6%) and 52 (46.4%) received 20-40 mg/kg/day ursodeoxycholic acid for 319.2 +/- 506.9 days and 480.3 +/- 583.3 days, respectively. The outcome of infants with neonatal hepatitis with intake o… Show more

“…To date, there has been no effective medical treatment for intrahepatic cholestasis. Even though ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is the mainstay for the treatment of various cholestatic disorders (4), most patients only exhibit partial response and eventually progress to cirrhosis and liver failure (5)(6)(7). Therefore, the development of an effective drug for intrahepatic cholestasis is desperately needed.…”

“…UDKA toksisitesi ile moleküler mekanizmaları ve yan etkileri üzerine yapılan bir derlemede, UDKA'nın biyolojik olarak litokolik asite dönüştüğü ve bu asitin de DNA zincir kırıklarına neden olduğu rapor edilmiştir (Kotb, 2009). Bu araştırmaya göre UDKA'nın, sitotoksik ve antiproliferatif olduğu, ayrıca immün sistemi baskıladığı ve P53'ü inhibe ettiği de bildirilmiştir (Kotb, 2009).…”

“…Bu araştırmaya göre UDKA'nın, sitotoksik ve antiproliferatif olduğu, ayrıca immün sistemi baskıladığı ve P53'ü inhibe ettiği de bildirilmiştir (Kotb, 2009). Kotb'un aksine bazı bilim adamları araştırmalarında, UDKA'nın hepatotoksisiteyi azaltacağını ve karaciğer koruyucusu olarak rol oynayabileceğini bildirmişlerdir (Galle et al, 1990;Ishizaki et al 2005;Lukivskaya et al, 2006).…”
