Abstract
AIM: The objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) therapy on serum liver function tests.
METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar databases were searched to identify randomized placebo-controlled trials assessing the impact of UDCA on hepatic parameters. Meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model and sensitivity analysis through the leave-one-out method in the Review Manager statistical software version 5.3.
RESULTS: After UDCA treatment, meta-analysis revealed a significant reduction of alanine aminotransferase (weighted mean difference [WMD]: -15.28 U/L, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -23.42, -7.15, P = 0.0002, I
CONCLUSION: The results of the present meta-analysis suggest a hepatoprotective effect of UDCA by reducing serum liver parameters.
