Gallstone solubilizing agents, also known as cholelitholytic bile acid therapies, are a specialized therapeutic class of naturally occurring bile acids, primarily including ursodiol and chenodiol.
They function primarily by decreasing hepatic secretion and synthesis of cholesterol and reducing intestinal cholesterol absorption, which desaturates biliary cholesterol and facilitates the gradual dispersion and dissolution of cholesterol gallstones.
Clinically, these agents are utilized for the medical dissolution of small, radiolucent, non-calcified gallstones in patients who are non-surgical candidates, as well as for the prevention of gallstone formation during rapid weight loss.
Additionally, select agents within this class are indicated for chronic cholestatic hepatobiliary conditions, particularly primary biliary cholangitis.
