Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis
Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) refers to a heterogeneous group of autosomal-recessive disorders of childhood that disrupt bile formation and present with cholestasis of hepatocellular origin. The exact prevalence remains unknown, but the estimated incidence varies between 1/50,000 and 1/100,000 births. Three types of PFIC have been identified and associated with mutations ...
متن کاملIntrahepatic cholestasis after liver transplantation.
Cholestasis is a common sequela of liver transplantation. Although the majority of cases remain subclinical, severe cholestasis may be associated with irreversible liver damage, requiring retransplantation. Therefore, it is essential that clinicians be able to identify and treat the syndromes associated with cholestasis. In this review, we consider causes of intrahepatic cholestasis. These may ...
متن کاملLocus heterogeneity in progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis.
Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC or Byler disease) is a rare autosomal recessive form of severe and fatal cholestatic liver disease. A locus for PFIC has recently been mapped to chromosome 18q21-q22 in the original Byler pedigree. This region harbours the locus for a related phenotype, benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC), suggesting that these traits are allelic....
متن کاملCholecystoappendicostomy for progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis.
We report a rare case of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 from India. The diagnosis was confirmed on the basis of gene mutation analysis. The child had intense pruritus refractory to conventional medical management. As liver biopsy did not reveal any cirrhosis, partial external biliary diversion was considered as an alternative to liver transplant. We performed cholecystoapp...
