This is a controlled, observational clinical study initiated by investigators to investigate the efficacy and safety of sulfasalazine in the treatment of cirrhosis in patients with cirrhosis. Four cohorts were planned: primary biliary cirrhosis, hepatitis B and C cirrhosis, and alcoholic cirrhosis. The four groups were divided into experimental group and control group, and the experimental group: each group of patients was orally treated sulfasalazine for 12 months, taken three times a day, each time taking 0.5g. The control group did not take sulfasalazine.

Sulfasalazine enteric-coated tablets
Sulfasalazine enteric-coated tablets Cohort A: PBC treatment group: (1) PBC patients with poor response to UDCA after treatment: 30 patients continued to take UDCA(13-15mg/kg), 30 patients took UDCA(13-15mg/kg)+SASP (0.5g orally three times a day), 30 patients took SASP (0.5g orally three times a day) for 12 months of follow-up observation. During 12 months of treatment, at the time of enrollment and the 1st/3rd/6th/9th/12th months, the liver function, fecal flora, liver fibrosis and immune related indexes were detected. (2) Newly treated PBC patients: 30 patients took UDCA(13- 15mg/kg) and 30 patients took UDCA(13-15mg/kg)+SASP (0.5g orally three times a day) for 12 months of follow-up observation. During 12 months of treatment, at the time of enrollment and the 1st/3rd/6th/9th/12th months, the liver function, fecal flora, liver fibrosis and immune related indexes were detected.
