Overview
Liver transplantation is the gold standard for treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis and there is no effective medical treatment. Ursodeoxycholic acid has been studied as a treatment for the disease. However, there is no proof for its benefit and the American College of Gastroenterology does not support its use in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Medical Therapy
- Liver transplantation is the gold standard for treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis and there is no effective medical treatment.
- Ursodeoxycholic acid in the dose of 10-15 mg/kg/day has been studied as a treatment for the disease.
- However, there is no proof for the use of Ursodeoxycholic acid in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis.
- The American College of Gastroenterology, 2015 guidelines does not support the use of Ursodeoxycholic acid in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis.[1][2][3]
- The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, 2010 guidelines recommends against the use of UDCA in the treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis
- However, there is no proof for the use of Ursodeoxycholic acid in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis.
- Associated medical conditions and manifestations of end-stage liver disease (ESLD) can be targeted by medical therapy and/or surgery.
