Abstract
Patients who were promptly treated with urso-deoxycholic acid showed a more rapid decrease in biochemical markers of cholestasis, but not of cytotoxicity in the hepatobiliary complications secondary to prolonged parenteral nutrition. However, the present study has limitations derived from its design and therefore it would be desirable launch a randomized trial with sufficient power to evaluate the benefits derived from prophylactic or therapeutic use of urso-deoxycholic acid in the hepatobiliary conditions associated with the prolonged use of parenteral nutrition in the premature infants.
