Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare pediatric liver disease. Combined therapy with prednisolone and ursodeoxycholic acid showed promising results in a Taiwanese child, achieving clinical remission.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Rare Disease Research
  • Cholestatic Liver Diseases

Background:

  • Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare, chronic cholestatic liver disease with unknown etiology.
  • PSC has not been previously described in the pediatric population of Taiwan.
  • Early diagnosis and effective treatment strategies for pediatric PSC are crucial.

Observation:

  • A 4-year-old girl presented with prolonged fever, eosinophilia, hepatomegaly, and significantly elevated liver enzymes (alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase).
  • Diagnostic investigations, including ERCP and liver biopsy, confirmed the diagnosis of PSC.
  • The patient exhibited a unique presentation for PSC in Taiwanese children.

Findings:

  • Treatment with low-dose prednisolone and ursodeoxycholic acid for 32 months led to clinical remission.

  • Disease progression was halted with the combined therapeutic approach.
  • This case highlights the potential efficacy of combined therapy in pediatric PSC.

    • Implications:

    • A high index of suspicion is essential for diagnosing PSC in children presenting with chronic liver disease.
    • The findings suggest that prednisolone and ursodeoxycholic acid combination therapy may be a viable treatment option for pediatric PSC.
    • Further clinical trials are warranted to validate the efficacy and safety of this combined therapy in a larger pediatric cohort.
