Etiologic treatment and lifestyle modification 이태희건양대학교의과대학소화기내과 Tae Hee Lee Department of Internal Medicine, Konyang University College of Medicine, Daejeon, Korea Liver cirrhosis had been considered an irreversible end-state of disease. However many experimental and clinical evidence are supporting that liver cirrhosis is dynamic. Discontinuing the causative factors and permitting enough time can reverse liver fibrosis/ cirrhosis. Anti-viral therapy for the patients with chronic hepatitis B or C has a role in improving fibrosis/ cirrhosis and clinical outcomes. Clinical evidence of reversal of cirrhosis in the alcohol-induced cirrhotic is still lacking. Histological improvements differ according to the degree of weight loss in the case of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. However, the study of reversal of non-alcoholic fatty liver-related cirrhosis is sparse. Immunosuppressants including corticosteroid could reverse fibrosis in the patients with autoimmune hepatitis. Fibrosis in the patients with primary biliary cirrhosis could be improved by ursodeoxycholic acid. We need more concrete evidences for the reversal of cirrhosis in the patients with various end-stage liver diseases. And we should find where the point of no return is in liver cirrhosis.

이태희 Etiologic treatment and lifestyle modification 결론 원인질환의치료로간섬유화와간경화는호전될수있으며일부에서는간경화의합병증도호전될수 있음을알수있다. 하지만조직에직접작용하여섬유화를억제하거나섬유화의해소를촉진시키는등의 방법과표적수용체와그에결합하는물질에대한상호작용을이용하는치료도시도되고있어향후새로 운항섬유화치료로기대되고있다. 56 또한섬유화와염증의개선이결국간기능, 문맥고혈압의개선으로 나타나는전향적인연구들은아직도부족한상태이다. C형간염의경우최근의 DAA들의효과가매우우수하여 SVR뿐만아니라간경화의소실, 문맥고혈압의개선, 합병증의소실이나개선등의임상결과가기대된다. 하지만아직도과연어떤것이결정적으로간의별세포를원래상태로복귀시키는지또는사망에이르게하는지모르는상태이다. 또한실제로어떤상태의간경화까지가회복이가능한지는알려져있지않아추가연구가더필요하다. 57 REFERENCES 1. Bacon BR.
