  • Examination of clinical trials for cholestatic liver diseases.

    • Main Results:

    • Enhanced understanding of nuclear receptors (FXR, PXR, CAR) in bile acid regulation.
    • New insights into the pathogenesis of primary biliary cirrhosis, familial intrahepatic cholestasis, biliary atresia, and primary sclerosing cholangitis.
    • Progress in clinical trials for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, primary biliary cirrhosis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis.

    Conclusions:

    • Molecular mechanisms and epidemiology of cholestasis are continually advancing.
    • Improved understanding facilitates the development of targeted therapies.
    • Future research promises more effective treatments for specific cholestatic conditions.
