To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to address the use of
glucocorticoids in the comparatively special population of pure primary biliary
cirrhosis (PBC) patients who have high levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and
transaminases but do not have PBC-autoimmune hepatitis overlap syndrome.
Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is now assumed to be the standard therapy for PBC
patients. However, patients treated with UDCA still have a risk of progression to
cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. The most recent European Association for
the Study of the Liver guidelines of 2009 declared that further studies on
glucocorticoid therapy in this disease should be a priority. Therefore, we
designed this 3-year longitudinal retrospective study, which might provide deep
insight into the treatment for PBC.The aim of this study was to assess whether
the combination of prednisolone, UDCA, and azathioprine was superior to UDCA
alone in these PBC patients.Sixty patients were enrolled in this study.
Thirty-one patients underwent UDCA monotherapy, and 29 patients were treated with
prednisolone, UDCA, and azathioprine. We analyzed their biochemistries, immune
parameters, liver synthetic function, and noninvasive assessments of liver
fibrosis, as well as treatment efficacy and adverse effects at baseline and at 1,
3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months.Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), ?-glutamyl
transpeptidase, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase levels
and the aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) and S-index
improved dramatically in both groups, whereas IgG levels only decreased in the
combination group (all P?0.05). Albumin (ALB) levels decreased in the UDCA
group but increased with the combination treatment at 36 months. Significant
differences between the 2 groups were observed at 36 months in ALP (P?=?0.005),
IgG (P?=?0.002), ALB (P?=?0.002), APRI (P?=?0.015), and S-index (P?=?0.020).
Prednisolone combined with UDCA and azathioprine showed a higher efficacy based
on our new criteria.The combination of prednisolone, UDCA, and azathioprine is
superior to UDCA alone for the treatment of pure PBC patients with high levels of
IgG and transaminases. Side effects were minimal or absent.
