Neonatal lupus mimicking extra hepatic biliary atresia.
Neonatal Lupus Erythematosus (NLE) is an uncommon condition manifesting with congenital complete heart block and occasionally other manifestations like hepatitis. Neonatal Lupus with severe cholestasis with positive anti SS-A/Ro and anti SS-B/La antinuclear antibodies in the mother and child is being reported.
متن کاملNeonatal cholestasis mimicking biliary atresia: Could it be urinary tract infection?
Cholestasis can occur in newborns due to infections. However, the manifestations of the underlying infections usually dominate the presentation. We present a 2-month-old infant who presented with jaundice and no fever or signs of systemic illness. Liver biopsy was suggestive of cholangitis. He was subsequently detected to have urinary tract infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae. The child was tr...
متن کاملThe association of alcohol intake with γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels: evidence for correlated genetic effects.
BACKGROUND Blood levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) are used as a marker for (heavy) alcohol use. The role of GGT in the anti-oxidant defense mechanism that is part of normal metabolism supposes a causal effect of alcohol intake on GGT. However, there is variability in the response of GGT to alcohol use, which may result from genetic differences between individuals. This study aimed to ...
متن کاملGamma Glutamyl Transferase Activity (Ggt) In Albino Rats
The use of orphenadol as a wide spectrum painkiller (analgesics) has been reported to elicit some toxic effects. This research examined the hepatobiliary effect of orphenadol solution on hepatobiliary system in albino rats. Twenty male albino rats, distributed into four groups (A, B, C and D), with five rats in each group, were used in this research. Groups A, B and C were given oral treatment ...
متن کاملAssociation of γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity with treatment and clinical outcomes in chronic hepatitis C (HCV).
UNLABELLED Increased γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity is associated with liver injury and with mortality in the general population. Less is known about its association with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) outcomes. We examined GGT as a predictor of both virological response to treatment and long-term clinical outcomes in the Hepatitis C Anti-viral Treatment Against Cirrhosis Trial (HALT-C). HALT...
