  • Title: [Efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid in gallbladder cholesterosis accompanied by cholecystolithiasis].
    Author: Il'chenko AA, Orlova IuN.
    Journal: Eksp Klin Gastroenterol; 2003; (1):46-50, 182. PubMed ID: 12664784.
    Abstract:
    23 patients with gall-bladder cholesterosis associated with cholesterol gallstones were treated with ursodeoxycholic acid preparations. A regression of cholesterol polyps was recorded in 56.5% against the background of treatment, and complete or partial dissolution of gallstones was observed in 87%. The efficiency of dissolution of cholesterol polyps and stones in the gall-bladder went up along with the extension of the therapy terms, reaching its maximum by 7-9 months of treatment. The dissolution rates were higher for gallstones than for cholesterol polyps. The volume of bile being secreted increased, and the gall-bladder contractile function improved in the course of treatment.
