Summary

About 1/3 of patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) exhibit moderate to severe interface hepatitis, and this group of patients have poor response to UDCA treatment. However, as it is not yet sufficient to diagnose autoimmune hepatitis or overlap syndrome, it is difficult to initiate immunosuppressive therapy such as steroids according to current guidelines. The aim of this study is to explore whether PBC patients with moderate to severe interfacial inflammation can benefit from UDCA combined with prednisone therapy, and its treatment safety.
