A member asked:

I am diabetic for 5 years. i take only insulin. doctor prescribed my ursodeoxycolic acid 150 mg tablet twice daily for high sgpt (156). does it work?

Need to clarify: We don't treat lab values. What diagnosis were you given? Do you have primary biliary cirrhosis proved by serology or biopsy? Is this a way of treating NASH -- evidence is so-so. Have hepatitis B and C, hemochromatosis, alcohol, autoimmunity, and medication allergy been ruled out?
