  • Title: Medical treatment of chronic hepatitis. Results of a retrospective study.
    Author: Thaler H.
    Journal: Tokai J Exp Clin Med; 1980 Jul; 5(3):361-6. PubMed ID: 7222126.
    Abstract:
    A retrospective study on 247 cases of chronic hepatitis was made. 177 patients with chronic aggressive hepatitis (CAH) were treated with prednisolone, azathioprine, the combination of prednisolone and azathioprine, or D-penicillamine. Prednisolone and the combined therapy was significantly more effective than azathioprine or D-penicillamine. It seems questionable, however, whether the addition of azathioprine to prednisolone is of real advantage.
