Article commented: D’Agnolo HM, Kievit W, Takkenberg RB, Riaño I, Bujanda L, Neijenhuis MK, Brunenberg EJ, et al. Ursodeoxycholic acid in advanced polycystic liver disease: A phase 2 multicenter randomized controlled trial. J Hepatol 2016; 65: 601-7. Comment: We have read with great interest the publication from Hedwig D’Agnolo, et al. on the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in advanced polycystic liver disease due to autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney and/or liver diseases (ADPKD/ADPLD). The Dutch group of investigators reported interesting results on UDCA administration for 24 weeks. They reported a reduction of liver cyst volume growth but did not observe a reduction of total liver volume.
