Abstract
Background and Aim

To explore the efficacy treatment regimen in refractory PBC.

Methods

Triple treatment including ursodeoxycholic acid, prednisolone and immunosuppressant was prescribed to 47 refractory patients. Biochemistries, immune parameters, non-invasive liver fibrosis assessments were measured during follow-up.

Results

Triple therapy resulted in significant decrease in ALP, GGT, ALT, AST, TBIL, ALB, IgG, IgM, APRI, FIB-4 and S-INDEX. The biochemical cumulative normalization rates of ALP and other biochemical parameters were higher in long-term follow-up. Poor outcome was observed in patients with lower ALB, higher TBIL, PT, sp100 positivity and advanced liver pathology at baseline. Osteoporosis and bone fracture were observed in 15% patients.

Conclusions

Triple therapy is associated with marked decrease and normalization of ALP and other parameters. ALB, TBIL, PT, sp100 and pathology were related with poor outcome. Osteoporosis should be closely monitored.

Resumen
Antecedentes y objetivo

Explorar el régimen de tratamiento de eficacia en PBC refractario.

Métodos

Se prescribió un tratamiento triple que incluyó ácido ursodesoxicólico, prednisolona e inmunosupresor a 47 pacientes refractarios. Las bioquímicas, los parámetros inmunes, las evaluaciones no invasivas de fibrosis hepática se midieron durante el seguimiento.

Resultados

La triple terapia resultó en una disminución significativa de ALP, GGT, ALT, AST, TBIL, ALB, IgG, IgM, APRI, FIB-4 y S-INDEX. Las tasas de normalización bioquímica acumulada de ALP y otros parámetros bioquímicos fueron mayores en el seguimiento a largo plazo. Se observó un resultado deficiente en pacientes con ALB más bajo, TBIL más alto, PT, positivo de SP100 y enfermedad hepática avanzada al inicio del estudio. La osteoporosis y la fractura ósea se observaron en el 15% de los pacientes.

Conclusiones

La triple terapia se asocia con una marcada disminución y normalización de ALP y otros parámetros. ALB, TBIL, PT, SP100 y la enfermedad se relacionaron con un mal resultado. La osteoporosis debe estar bajo estrecha supervisión.
