PBC what to do after the diagnosis ? - Disease stage ! - Prognosis: risk stratification !

PBC Phenotype Abbreviations AMA antimitochonaddrial antibody; ANA antinuclear antibody; ASMA, anti-smoth-muscle antibody; IBD, inflammotory bowel desease: MRCP, magnetic resonance cholangiography; PBC, primary biliary choalngitis. Trivedy PJ et al. Al.iment Pharmacol Ther 2012; 36:517-533.
The Two Sides of PBC 50-60% ofourpts. 10-15% ofourpts. Abbreviations ANA antinuclear antibody; PBC, primary biliary choalngitis; UDCA, ursodeoxycholic acid.
PBC: riskstratification ??? Rapid-progressive (young women, men, fatigue, UDCA-non-responders) Slow-progressive (elderly women, mild itch, UDCA-responders) Asymptomatic AMA+ ALP high Silent AMA+ ALP normal Portal hypertension-type progression (ACA-pos. ) Interface hepatitis/PBC-AIH overlap (non responder ) Hepatocellular failure-type progression (Anti-gp210 antibody pos.)

PBC: the way to precision medicine • MAIN PRINCIPLES: • More proactive and predictive approach to medicine; • Risk stratification; • Individualization of treatment for each patient; • Prevention rather than the treatment of symptoms; ‘the right treatment, for the right person, at the right time’ !
PBC: staging and prognostic indexes at the diagnosis ! RISK STRATIFICATION ! EASL guidelines 2017
PBC: staging and prognostic indexes at the diagnosis ! • Anti-Sp100 and anti-gp210 ANA to be checked • since their prognostic significance !? • -Cirrhosis should be checked by US (PV doppler) • indirect signs ! • -Transient elastography to classify PBC patients • with or without severe fibrosis ! • - Alkalinephosphataseserumlevels ! • Category of evidence = II-2 • -Grade of evidence = A1
Non-specific antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are found in at least 30% of PBC cases (85% AMA-neg. PBC) • ANA directed against nuclear body or envelope proteins such (anti-Sp100, anti-gp210) show a high specificity for PBC (>95%), but with low sensitivity ! EASL practice guidelines, J Hepatol 2009
ANA PBC-specific (30% of PBC, > 95% of AMA-neg): • Anti-gp210 antibody: • PBC-specific anti-nuclear antibody, targets …nuclear pore complex (NPC); • Associated with more aggressive disease, more severe interface and lobular hepatitis, late stage PBC (Wesierska-Gadek 2006); • Marker of hepatocellular failure-type progression in PBC. • Anti sp100 antibody: • Found in many other autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis (SSc); • Prognostic significance of sp100 antibodies unclear ! • Anti-centromere antibodies (ACA): • Characteristic of SSc but also found in PBC patients without coexistent SSc; • Predictive of portal hypertension-type disease progression, without synthetic failure (Gao et al. 2008); EASL practice guidelines, J Hepatol 2009
PBC: UDCA-response + Liverstiffness ?! C. Corpechot
15,875 PBC cohort (63.0±13.5 y, 78% female, 46% with cirrhosis); 6083 (38%) had ALP≥ 1.5×ULN Associated with : --more pruritus --more cirrhosis, + other autoimmune diseases Multivariate analysis: --presence of other autoimmune diseases --compensated or decompensated cirrhosis --being male …..higher risk of cirrhosis

PBC: UDCA responseasmainprognosticindex! * Dichotomous models, easy to use but: -only two levels of risk; -fail to quantify intermediate levels of risk; -ignore the relationship between risk and time They do not indicate whether the high-risk patient will need a LT tomorrow or fifteen years in the future !
PBC: UDCA responseasmainprognosticindex! To properly inform treatment decisions, continuous risk index (or score) that quantifies the individual’s risk in relation to time are demanding …

Costo UDCA = 180-220 euro/anno !
2703 PBC included in the UK-PBC cohort for derivation of the model 460 PBC in the external validation cohort: AUROC= 0.83 (95% CI 0·79–0·87)
In 20 PBC liver biopsy UDCA response score associated with ductular reaction (r=–0·556, p=0·0130) and intermediate hepatocytes (probability of response was 0·90 if intermediate hepatocytes were absent vs 0·51 if present).
Studi prospettici sui predittori istologici di risposta al trattamento e sulla progressione istologica di malattia in pazienti PBC trattati con UDCA+OCA sono indispensabili per stabilire quando cessare il trattamento o cambiare farmaco !
