sCD163 in PBC Patients - Assessment of Treatment Response
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune chronic liver disease, characterised by destruction of the small intrahepatic bile ducts. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is the first line treatment for patients with PBC. However, up to 40% of patients respond inadequate to this treatment. sCD163 is a macrophage activation marker shedded into …

Bezafibrate in Patients With Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC)
Up to 40% of patients with PBC have an inadequate response to standard treatment with UDCA, hence bezafibrate, a PPAR-agonist is being introduced as add-on therapy in these patients. sCD163, fibrosis markers and bile acid composition are of special interest in PBC. In this study, the investigators will investigate how …
