57 pH-modified budesonide is licensed for both the induction and maintenance of 29-35 In a phase IIb randomized clinical trial, combination budesonide and azathioprine was found superior to the combination of prednisone and azathioprine to induce biochemical remission in patients with newly diagnosed autoimmune hepatitis while showing significantly lower rates of steroid specific adverse effects
STUDY DESIGN Forty-six Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is successfully treated with prednisone and/or azathioprine immunosuppressive therapy in 70% to 80% of patients
We aimed to describe its use and compare its efficacy and safety with prednisone as first-line options
STUDY DESIGN: Forty-six patients with AIH (11 males and 35 females) aged 9-17 years were enrolled in a 6-month, prospective, double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, multicenter phase IIb study evaluating budesonide (n = 19; 3 mg al to compare remission and tolerance to budesonide and prednisone in children with mild or moderately active Crohn disease
53% of reviewers reported a positive effect, while 26% reported a negative effect
Background: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is successfully treated with prednisone and/or azathioprine immunosuppressive therapy in 70% to 80% of patients
The dose of budesonide could be decreased over time
The mainstay of AIH therapy is prednisone plus azathioprine
The disease can affect people of any age and is more To compare the effect of budesonide vs prednisone therapy both in combination with azathioprine in pediatric patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH)
edu Forty-six patients with AIH (11 males and 35 females) aged 9-17 years were enrolled in a 6-month, prospective, double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, multicenter phase IIb study evaluating budesonide (n = 19; 3 mg twice or 3 times daily) vs prednisone (n = 27; 40 mg/day tapered to 10 mg/day), both with azathioprine (1-2 mg/kg/day), followed by a further 6 months of open-label budesonide Prednisone and budesonide are types of steroids used to treat Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
This activity reviews the indications, mechanism of action, and contraindications, adverse event profiles, monitoring, and other key elements of budesonide therapy in the clinical setting as relates to the Keywords: Autoimmune hepatitis, prednisone, prednisolone, induction therapy, European Association for Study of the Liver, although both methods have never been compared in AIH
Forty-six patients with AIH (11 males and 35 females) aged 9-17 years were enrolled in a 6-month, prospective, double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, multicenter phase IIb study evaluating budesonide (n = 19; 3 mg twice or 3 times daily) vs prednisone (n = 27; 40 mg/day tapered to 10 mg/day), both with azathioprine (1-2 mg/kg/day), followed by a further 6 months of open Since the original trial comparing budesonide with prednisone in 2010, it is recommended as an effective alternative for the treatment of non-severe acute or chronic autoimmune hepatitis
Corticosteroid therapy induces long-term remission but has many side effects
Unless otherwise contraindicated, combination of prednisone or budesonide plus In a prospective, double-blind, randomized trial, treatment with budesonide in combination with azathioprine for non-cirrhotic AIH patients induced biochemical remission more effectively than prednisone with azathioprine, and had a significantly lower incidence of steroid-specific adverse effects
We investigated the efficacy of budesonide as an alternative steroid for patients previously treated with prednisolone who developed side effects or were unable to reduce their dose of prednisolone below acceptable levels
Since the original trial comparing budesonide with prednisone in 2010, it is recommended as an effective alternative for the treatment of non-severe acute or chronic autoimmune hepatitis

The results of the sub-analysis of the children recruited into the study and presented in this issue of The Journal, however, are unrewarding
The overall results of the trial showed better response to budesonide/azathioprine than to prednisone/azathioprine treatment, the primary
Budesonide versus prednisone with azathioprine for the treatment of autoimmune hepatitis in children and adolescents
The high first pass hepatic clearance of >90% and lower side effect profile makes budesonide an attractive therapeutic option in AIH
RESULTS: We observed no statistically significant difference in the percentage of patients who met the primary endpoint between the budesonide (3 of 19; 16%)

CONCLUSION: Oral budesonide with azathioprine can induce and maintain remission in pediatric patients with AIH and may be considered an alternative therapy to prednisone
undertaken in AIH demonstrated improved induction and maintenance of remission for budesonide with azathioprine versus prednisone with azathioprine over a 6-month study period with a further 6 months of follow-up
We compared the effects of budesonide (a steroid that is rapidly metabolized, with low systemic exposure) and prednisone, both in combination with azathioprine
prednisone, both in combination with azathioprine, budesonide did cause fewer side effects than prednisone; however, after 12 months, only 46% of the Study design
In patients with AIH or PBC, the prevalence of overlap features is approximately 8% to 19%
We aimed to describe its use and compare its efficacy and safety with prednisone as first-line options

Objective To compare the effect of budesonide vs prednisone therapy both in combination with azathioprine in pediatric patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH)
