Obeticholic acid aggravates liver fibrosis by activating hepatic farnesoid X receptor-induced apoptosis in cholestatic mice.

Chem Biol Interact

December 2024

New Drug Screening and Pharmacodynamics Evaluation Center, State Key Laboratory of Natural Medicines, China Pharmaceutical University, Nanjing, 210009, China. Electronic address:

Obeticholic acid (OCA) was approved for the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) patients. However, it can cause severe drug-induced liver injury (DILI), which may put PBC patients at risk of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) and even death. Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is considered as the target of OCA for cholestasis, but there is still a lack of research on whether hepatic and ileal FXR have different effects after OCA treatment.

Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis is a known complication following ileal conduit urinary diversion, often arising from urinary reabsorption in the ileum, which leads to chloride retention and bicarbonate loss and, though often asymptomatic, can produce clinically significant symptoms, particularly in patients with underlying renal impairment. A 75-year-old woman with a history of bladder cancer underwent cystectomy with ileal conduit diversion and presented on postoperative day 47 with anorexia, hypotension, and weight loss; laboratory findings revealed hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with elevated serum chloride. The patient's acidosis gradually improved with sodium bicarbonate and Ringer's solution, stabilizing her blood pressure, creatinine, and acid-base balance, and she was discharged with outpatient follow-up.
