description In their relevant study, the authors demonstrated that ursodeoxycholic acid therapy significantly improvedliver function tests either when given alone or combined with silymarin. But, silymarin itself failed to improve liver function tests. We thank to the authors for their valuable contribution. However, there are some concerns that need to be explained in a detailed manner for a better understanding of the results presented in the manuscript. [Med-Science 2015; 4(4.000): 2986-8]
