The reasons for this lie in the observation that, in stages I/II, no patient suffers from progressive disease that irrevocably leads to death or transplantation, while a measurable effect of UDCA, as is true for other drugs and other hepatic diseases, continues to dwindle and finally disappears as patients progress through the fibrotic and cirrhotic stages III and IV. Hence, administration of UDCA must begin in the phase of progressive inflammation (stages I and II) and the outcome documented after many years of long-term therapy" Order ALL the reference details at left...
