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.
