Polynosological effects of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Practice of using

Abstract

The article tells about the indications for use of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). The most significant positive effects were demonstrated in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and cholelithiasis (CL). The possibility of using UDCA for CL prophylaxis during biliary sludge (BS) and in risk groups -people of elderly and senile age - is discussed. The article presents the results of the authors’ study of UDCA administration in 32 patients with gallbladder deformity (GD) and BS. Grinterol (UDCA) demonstrated high clinical efficacy, safety and no side effects.
