There is a lack of research investigating its incidence in newborn infants in Oman and the Arab region. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the incidence of PNAC and its risk factors in Omani neonates. Methods: This retrospective study took place between January and April 2014. All neonates who received PN for ≥14 days during a four-year period (June 2009 to May 2013) at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, Oman, were enrolled. ...

We present a case of Primary cytomegalovirus infection presented in mid-trimester with itching and obstetric cholestasis like picture. To the best of our knowledge the similarities between primary CMV and obstetric cholestasis, when presenting during pregnancy, have not been highlighted before in the literature. Case Report: A 36 year old lady presented to antenatal clinic at 23+4 weeks gestational age with intense itching. Bile acids and ALT were raised so she was treated as obstetric cholestasis whilst other results were awaited. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibodies, immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM were positive despite being negative at booking, suggesting an acquisition of CMV at approximately 18 weeks gestation. This article highlights the details of her case including the management and consequences of cytomegalovirus in pregnancy. Conclusion: This case report highlights the importance of the awareness of the clinicians with the condition as a differential diagnosis to obstetric cholestasis. CMV should

The differential diagnosis of neonatal cholestasis is extensive; etiologies are often divided into obstructive, infectious, and metabolic causes (2). Hypothyroidism and hypopituitarism are 2 endocrinopathies associated with neonatal cholestasis. Hyperthyroidism is not typically considered a cause of neonatal conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, although to date 2 previous reports have detailed instances in which hyperthyroid infants born to mothers with Graves disease have developed cholestasis (3,4). In addition, hepatic dysfunction with cholestatic jaundice has also been reported in adults with symptomatic hyperthyroidism (5). We present a third case of neonatal cholestasis associated with hyperthyroidism and suggest that hyperthyroidism be considered a potential etiology of cholestasis and liver dysfunction in neonates.. Neonatal hyperthyroidism caused by maternal Graves disease is a transient process because of transplacental passage of maternal antibodies, which stimulate the fetal thyroid. A ...

Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP), also termed Obstetric Cholestasis in the United Kingdom, is a reversible form of cholestasis, a liver disorder that occurs in pregnant women. ICP gives rise to troublesome itching during pregnancy but may lead to possibly serious complications for the mother and very serious outcomes for the fetus. Itching has long been considered to be a common symptom of pregnancy. The vast majority of times, itching, or pruritus is a minor annoyance caused by changes to the skin, especially that of the abdomen.. Cholestasis is a condition that impairs the release of a digestive fluid called bile from liver cells. As a result, bile builds up in the liver, impairing liver function. Because the problems with bile release occur within the liver (intrahepatic), the condition is described as intrahepatic cholestasis. Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy usually becomes apparent in the third trimester of pregnancy and recurs in 45 to 70% of subsequent pregnancies. Bile ...

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis 2 is a rare condition and is one of many forms of cholestasis. Cholestasis is a rare disease where a persons liver can not move the bile it makes to the small intestine. The liver, an organ, is responsible for producing bile. Bile is a compound that helps people digest fats. Once the bile has been made, it is supposed to go to the small intestine, another organ, to digest the fats there. However, in people with cholestasis, the bile can not move to the small intestine because there is either a physical block or because the bile is stuck in the liver cells. Symptoms of cholestasis are itchiness, jaundice (yellowing of the skin), pale stool, and dark urine. People with progressive familial intraheptic cholestasis 2 are not able to move the bile from the cells in the liver that produce it to the small intestine to digest fats. Talk with your doctor to find the best treatment for you if you have been diagnosed with progressive familial intraheptic ...

The prominent finding of this large retrospective study is the presence of marked intraparenchymal cholestasis on liver biopsy as an independent predictor of survival, along with age and the Maddreys score. Among other histological lesions commonly observed in ASH[20] bilirubinostasis was also the sole predictor of outcome. Interpretation of intrahepatic cholestasis is especially challenging in patients with decompensated cirrhosis at risk of developing biliary tract disease, infection or sepsis. In the latter situation, intrahepatic cholestasis is a prominent finding[13]. Having reasonably excluded the role of bile duct lesions or concomitant sepsis with the complete work-up performed at admission, intraparenchymal cholestasis can be considered as a lesion associated with ASH, as previously suggested[21]. Our results are in line with the study by Nissenbaum et al.[9] who reported lobular cholestasis in 38% of patients that correlated to malnutrition and a poor clinical outcome. In a recent ...

Accumulation of bile acids is a major mediator of cholestatic liver injury. Recent studies indicate bile acid composition between humans and rodents is dramatically different, as humans have a higher percent of glycine conjugated bile acids and increased chenodeoxycholate content, which increases the hydrophobicity index of bile acids. This increase may lead to direct toxicity that kills hepatocytes, and promotes inflammation. To address this issue, this study assessed how pathophysiological concentrations of bile acids measured in cholestatic patients affected primary human hepatocytes. Individual bile acid levels were determined in serum and bile by UPLC/QTOFMS in patients with extrahepatic cholestasis with, or without, concurrent increases in serum transaminases. Bile acid levels increased in serum of patients with liver injury, while biliary levels decreased, implicating infarction of the biliary tracts. To assess bile acid-induced toxicity in man, primary human hepatocytes were treated with ...

Mutations in the ATP8B1 gene cause two autosomal recessive disorders affecting liver: cholestasis, benign recurrent intrahepatic, 1 (BRIC1), cholestasis, progressive familial intrahepatic, 1 (PFIC1) and one autosomal dominant disorder: cholestasis, intrahepatic, of pregnancy, 1 (ICP1). BRIC2 is caused by mutations in the ABCB11 gene. PFIC can be caused by mutations in three other genes: ABCB11 (PFIC2), ABCB4 (PFIC3) and TJP2 (PFIC4). Mutations in the ABCB4 gene have been reported in ICP3. BRIC is characterized by intermittent episodes of cholestasis without extrahepatic bile duct obstruction. PFIC is characterized by early onset of cholestasis that progresses to hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease before adulthood. ICP typically occurs in the third trimester and it recurs in 45 to 70% of subsequent pregnancies. Findings include pruritus, jaundice, increased serum bile salts, and abnormal liver enzymes. This condition is reversible, but it can result in fetal complications ...

To elucidate the consequences of extrahepatic cholestasis on the structure and function of hepatocytes, we studied the effects of bile duct ligation on the turnover, surface distribution, and functional activity of the canalicular 100-kD bile salt transport protein (cBSTP). Basolateral (blLPM) and canalicular (cLPM) liver plasma membrane vesicles were purified to the same degree from normal and cholestatic rat livers and the membrane bound cBSTP identified and quantitated using polyclonal anti-cBSTP antibodies. Cholestasis of 50 h resulted in an increased release of cBSTP into bile, thereby decreasing its in vivo half-life from 65 to 25 h. Furthermore, a significant portion of cBSTP accumulated at the basolateral surface and in intracellular vesicles of cholestatic hepatocytes. This redistribution of cBSTP was functionally paralleled by decreased and increased electrogenic taurocholate anion transport in cLPM and blLPM vesicles, respectively. These results demonstrate that biliary obstruction ...

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), also known as obstetric cholestasis, cholestasis of pregnancy, jaundice of pregnancy, and prurigo gravidarum, is a medical condition in which cholestasis occurs during pregnancy. It typically presents with troublesome itching and can lead to complications for both mother and fetus. Pruritus (itching) has long been considered to be a common symptom of pregnancy. The vast majority of times, itching is a minor annoyance caused by changes to the skin, especially that of the abdomen. However, there are instances when itching is a symptom of ICP. This is usually most intense on the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet, but can be widespread. ICP occurs most commonly in the third trimester, but can begin at any time during the pregnancy. Most women with this condition present in third trimester with itching without a rash. Typically, the itching is localized to the palms of the hands and soles of the feet but can be anywhere on the body. Hallmarks ...

Background: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is characterised by troublesome maternal pruritus, raised serum bile acid levels and increased fetal risk. Mutations of the ABCB4 gene encoding the hepatobiliary phospholipid transporter have been identified in a small proportion of patients with cholestasis of pregnancy. In a recent prospective study on 693 patients with cholestasis of pregnancy, a cut-off level for serum bile acid (⩾40 μmol/l) was determined for increased risk of fetal complications.. Objectives: To investigate whether common combinations of polymorphic alleles (haplotypes) of the genes encoding the hepatobiliary ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters for phospholipids (ABCB4) and bile acids (ABCB11) were associated with this severe form of cholestasis of pregnancy.. Methods: For genetic analysis, 52 women with bile acid levels ⩾40 μmol/l (called cases) and 52 unaffected women (called controls) matched for age, parity and geographical residence were studied. Gene ...

In recent years, our knowledge about the pathogenesis, pathophysiology and treatment of hepatobiliary diseases has increased considerably. The molecular basis of cholestatic disorders as well as of gallstone disease is increasingly recognized. This has resulted in improved diagnosis, for instance in hereditary forms of intrahepatic cholestasis, and advances in treatment, for example in primary biliary cirrhosis and other chronic cholestatic disorders. This book, the proceedings of a Falk Workshop held in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, on June 9-10, 2000, brings together contributions from scientists and clinicians to highlight the most recent advances in molecular biology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy of diseases of the hepatobiliary system. World experts cover a broad spectrum of topics from genetic studies to endoscopy and from medical treatment to liver transplantation.Acalovschi, M. is the author of Hepatobiliary Diseases Cholestasis and Gallstone with ISBN 9780792387701 and ISBN ...

Myosin Vb (MYO5B) is a motor protein that facilitates protein trafficking and recycling in polarized cells by RAB11- and RAB8-dependent mechanisms. Biallelic MYO5B mutations are identified in the majority of patients with microvillus inclusion disease (MVID). MVID is an intractable diarrhea of infantile onset with characteristic histopathologic findings that requires life-long parenteral nutrition or intestinal transplantation. A large number of such patients eventually develop cholestatic liver disease. Bi-allelic MYO5B mutations are also identified in a subset of patients with predominant early-onset cholestatic liver disease. We present here the compilation of 114 patients with disease-causing MYO5B genotypes, including 44 novel patients as well as 35 novel MYO5B mutations, and an analysis of MYO5B mutations with regard to functional consequences. Our data support the concept that (1) a complete lack of MYO5B protein or early MYO5B truncation causes predominant intestinal disease (MYO5B-MVID), (2)

Fifteen patients with cholestatic disorders were treated for 1 to 5 months with phenobarbital. Primary biliary cirrhosis was diagnosed in seven, sclerosing cholangitis in two, intrahepatic biliary hypoplasia in three, and cholestatic hepatitis in three. Except for the patients with cholestatic hepatitis, in whom marked cholestasis was virtually the only abnormality in liver biopsy specimens, serum bilirubin and bile acid concentrations were diminished during therapy, the hepatic clearance of sulfobromophthalein and 131I-rose bengal was variably enhanced, and there was relief from pruritus. Serum cholesterol concentrations and other measures of hepatic function were not significantly changed during therapy except for serum alkaline phosphatase activity, which rose in twelve patients. Parallel changes occurred in 5′-nucleotidase, suggesting a hepatic origin for the alkaline phosphatase activity. These studies indicate that phenobarbital therapy is associated with improvement in organic anion ...

AU - Kudo, Shin Ei. PY - 2004/11/19. Y1 - 2004/11/19. N2 - Endoscopic treatment with endoprosthesis for obstructive jaundice is a well-accepted method for palliation of obstructive jaundice and its associated symptoms. Yet, there is no consensus whether a plastic stent or metal stent to be used. The longer patency period with metal stent is a definite advantage but its high cost limits its routine use. The best use of metal stent is accomplished with consideration of patients predicted prognosis and a medical cost in Japan. We used a simulated case scenario to calculate a cost for metal stent and non-metallic stent. Metal stent use would cost about 437 000 yen per patient at 6 months compared with 276 000-329 000 for non-metallic stents, and thus metal stent use appears to be more costly in current ...

N2 - Transporters at the hepatic canalicular membrane are essential for the formation of bile and the prevention of cholestatic liver disease. One such example is ATP8B1, a P4-type ATPase disrupted in three inherited forms of intrahepatic cholestasis. Mutation of the X-linked mouse gene Atp11c, which encodes a paralogous P4-type ATPase, precludes B-cell development in the adult bone marrow, but also causes hyperbilirubinemia. Here we explore this hyperbilirubinemia in two independent Atp11c mutant mouse lines, and find that it originates from an effect on nonhematopoietic cells. Liver function tests and histology revealed only minor pathology, although cholic acid was elevated in the serum of mutant mice, and became toxic to mutant mice when given as a dietary supplement. The majority of homozygous ...

Cholestatic liver disease refers to a condition that impairs the production or flow of bile. It can cause itchiness in pregnant women and jaundice for newborns.

Malignant bile duct obstruction is a common problem among cancer patients with hepatic or lymphatic metastases. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) with the placement of a stent is the method of choice to improve biliary flow. Only little data exist concerning the outcome of patients with malignant biliary obstruction in relationship to microbial isolates from bile. Bile samples were taken during the ERC procedure in tumor patients with biliary obstruction. Clinical data including laboratory values, tumor-specific treatment and outcome data were prospectively collected. 206 ERC interventions in 163 patients were recorded. In 43 % of the patients, systemic treatment was (re-) initiated after successful biliary drainage. A variety of bacteria and fungi was detected in the bile samples. One-year survival was significantly worse in patients from whom multiresistant pathogens were isolated than in patients, in whom other species were detected. Increased levels of inflammatory markers were associated

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (obstetric cholestasis) is characterised by pruritus, otherwise unexplained deranged liver enzyme levels, and elevated levels of serum bile acid.1 The itching typically subsides almost immediately after delivery and the serum bile acid and liver enzyme levels normalise within a few weeks.2 Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy usually presents in the late second and third trimester3 although it has been reported as early as 6-10 weeks gestation.4. Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy affects about 0.7% of pregnancies in the United Kingdom, varying by ethnic group,5 and usually runs a relatively benign course. The condition is associated with increased rates of spontaneous preterm labour, antepartum passage of meconium, and asphyxial events, but its relation to perinatal mortality is uncertain; early studies reported an increased risk of stillbirth, but some recent studies have cast doubt on the magnitude of the increased risk.1 Interpretation has been ...

Objective : To determine the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes resulting from intrahepatic cholestasis. Methods : We analyzed 91 women with singleton pregnancies complicated by cholestasis who gave birth at Kuopio University Hospital from January 1990 to December 1996. Logistic regression analysis was used to compare pregnancy outcomes of this...

The placement of SEMS with minor ES is better comparable with the incidence of PEP in previous large clinical trials. Post ES bleeding was lower in minor ES comparable to standard sphincterotomy. The bleeding rate of SEMS insertion after minor ES was lower compared with standard sphincterotomy prior to stent placement. Minor ES was safe and effective procedure as not increasing severe bleeding to facilitate the SEMS placement in patients with malignant biliary obstruction.. ...

SummaryIntroduction Cholestasis and the newborn infant are a heterogeneous group of diseases that pose a problem etiologic diagnosis and management. Objective Report our experience in cholestasis in newborns and infants. Patients and methods This is a retrospective study of 60 cases of infants with cholestatic jaundice collected in the pediatric ward of the University Hospital of Marrakech Mohamed {VI} over a period from January 2008 to September 2014. Results The frequency of cholestasis was 10.7 cases/year, the average age was 5 months (17 days-2 years), and the peak frequency was noted at 2 months with a male predominance (61.6%) and inbreeding in 40% of cases. Cholestasis was total and permanent in 60% of cases. A laboratory test was disrupted in all cases showing a very significant cytolysis in 33% of cases, a biological cholestasis with normal {GGT} in 4 cases. Abdominal ultrasound showed absence of visualization of the gall bladder in 14.5% of cases, liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension 14.5%

Viral hepatitis characterized by prolonged cholestasis has not been associated with a specific serologic marker. We report the cases of six patients presenting with a clinical syndrome typical of cholestatic hepatitis who were subsequently found to have acute hepatitis A. Usual features include pruritus, fever, diarrhea, and weight loss with serum bilirubin levels greater than 10 mg/dL, and a clinical course lasting at least 12 weeks. All patients recovered completely without sequelae. Knowledge of this unusual manifestation of hepatitis A may help avoid potentially invasive procedures involved in the evaluation of suspected obstructive jaundice and facilitate appropriate immunoprophylactic measures. ...

Cholestasis is defined as a decrease in bile flow due to impaired secretion by hepatocytes or to obstruction of bile flow through intra-or extrahepatic bile ducts. Therefore, the clinical definition of cholestasis is any condition in which substances normally excreted into bile are retained.

Disrupted regulation and accumulation of bile salts (BS) in the liver can contribute towards progressive liver damage, cholestasis and fibrosis. Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) are a promising tool for the development of in vitro toxicity screening tests as they provide us with key events, which we can use when establishing cell-based models. The proposed AOP for cholestasis and established AOP for liver fibrosis provide us with specific events involved in each condition. However, certain key events occur in both AOPs such as apoptosis and inflammation. Here, we investigated the role of BS in the progression of cholestatic injury and liver fibrosis using 3D scaffold-free multicellular human liver microtissues (MTs) comprising the cell lines HepaRG, THP-1 and hTERT-HSCs. We demonstrated that low concentrations of BS led to down-regulation of CYP7A1 and increased stellate cell activation, which are key events specific to cholestasis and fibrosis, respectively. We also identified that BS elicit ...

Background: Cognitive functions are impaired in patients with liver disease. Bile duct ligation causes cholestasis that impairs liver function. This study investigated the impact of cholestasis progression on the acquisition and retention times in the passive avoidance test and on the locomotor activity of rats. Methods: Cholestasis was induced in male Wistar rats by ligating the main bile duct. Locomotor activity, learning and memory were assessed by the passive avoidance learning test at day 7, day 14, and day 21 post-bile duct ligation. The serum levels of bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase were measured. Results: The results showed that acquisition time and locomotor activity were not affected at day 7 and day 14, but they were significantly (P , 0.05) impaired at day 21 post-bile duct ligation compared with the results for the control group. Additionally, memory was significantly impaired on day 7 (P , 0.01), day 14, and day 21 (P , 0.001) compared with the ...

Alterations in Abcb4(-/-) mice, compared with wild-type mice, included deregulation of genes that control lipid synthesis, storage, and oxidation; decreased serum levels of cholesterol and phospholipids; and reduced hepatic long-chain fatty acyl-CoAs (LCA-CoA). Feeding Abcb4(-/-) mice the side chain-modified bile acid 24-norursodeoxycholic acid (norUDCA) reversed their liver injury and fibrosis, increased serum levels of lipids, lowered phospholipase and triglyceride hydrolase activities, and restored hepatic LCA-CoA and triglyceride levels. Additional genetic and nutritional studies indicated that lipid metabolism contributed to chronic cholestatic liver injury; crossing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-?-deficient mice with Abcb4(-/-) mice (to create double knockouts) or placing Abcb4(-/-) mice on a high-fat diet protected against liver injury, with features similar to those involved in the response to norUDCA. Placing pregnant Abcb4(-/-) mice on high-fat diets prevented liver ...

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a bile acid-activated transcription factor that is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. Fxr-null mice exhibit a phenotype similar to Byler disease, an inherited cholestatic liver disorder. In the liver, activation of FXR induces transcription of transporter genes involved in promoting bile acid clearance and represses genes involved in bile acid biosynthesis. We investigated whether the synthetic FXR agonist GW4064 could protect against cholestatic liver damage in rat models of extrahepatic and intrahepatic cholestasis. In the bile duct-ligation and alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate models of cholestasis, GW4064 treatment resulted in significant reductions in serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase, as well as other markers of liver damage. Rats that received GW4064 treatment also had decreased incidence and extent of necrosis, decreased inflammatory cell infiltration, and decreased bile duct proliferation. Analysis

A paraneoplastic syndrome can often present as the first manifestation of an underlying malignancy. We report a patient who presented with cholestatic jaundice as a paraneoplastic syndrome from his newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer. He received initial treatment with androgen deprivation therapy followed by six cycles of docetaxel resulting in resolution of his cholestatic process, normalization of liver enzyme levels, and excellent biochemical and radiographic response. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of metastatic prostate cancer with cholestatic jaundice as a paraneoplastic phenomenon to be safely treated with androgen deprivation therapy and upfront docetaxel, reflecting the latest shift in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer.

AU - Romagnoli, Costantino. AU - Marras, Marco. PY - 2006. Y1 - 2006. N2 - Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a clinical syndrome of unknown pathophysiology, characterized by generalized pruritus and biochemical cholestasis, occurring during the second half of pregnancy and persisting until delivery.1 The incidence of ICP varies from 0.1% to 1.5% of pregnancies in Europe, North America, and Australia and from 9.2% to 15.6% in South American countries such as Bolivia and Chile.2 ICP may seriously impair the placental clearance of fetal bile acids (BAs), leading to a dangerous accumulation of these compounds within the fetus and the newborn.3 The elevation of maternal serum BA is thought to be the most appropriate biochemical parameter for diagnosing the ICP.4 This syndrome has been associated ...

We report on a 71-year-old man who presented to the medical department of Our Lady of Maryknoll Hospital with progressive cholestatic hepatitis. Tests for hepatitis viral markers gave negative results and ultrasonography revealed no dilated bile ducts. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed a normal biliary tree. The patient had completed a 5-month course of methimazole to treat thyrotoxicosis a few weeks before the onset of the jaundice. Methimazole was suspected to be the cause of the cholestatic hepatitis; this diagnosis was supported by the results from a liver biopsy. The presentation of the patient was unusual by virtue of the delayed onset and prolonged course of cholestasis ...

A 57-yr-old man presented with clinical and laboratory signs of acute cholestatic hepatitis. Symptoms had appeared 7 wk after he was started on pravastatin 20 mg/day for hypercholesterolemia. A full evaluation including ultrasound, computed tomography, endoscopic cholangiography, and liver biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of intrahepatic nonobstructive jaundice. The liver function abnormalities normalized 7 wk after cessation of therapy. Pravastatin should be considered as a potential cause of cholestatic hepatitis with favorable clinical outcome after drug withdrawal ...

We developed murine models for EFA deficiency (EFAD) with and without extrahepatic cholestasis and compared the efficacy of oral supplementation of EFA as PL or as TG. EFAD was induced in mice by feeding a high-fat EFAD diet. After 3 wk on this diet, bile duct ligation was performed in a subgroup of mice to establish extrahepatic cholestasis. Cholestatic and noncholestatic EFAD mice continued on the EFAD diet (controls) or were supplemented for 3 wk with EFA-rich TG or EFA-rich PL. Fatty acid composition was determined in plasma, erythrocytes, liver, and brain. After 4 wk of EFAD diet, induction of EFAD was confirmed by a sixfold increased triene-to-tetraene ratio (T/T ratio) in erythrocytes of noncholestatic and cholestatic mice (P < 0.001). EFA-rich TG and EFA-rich PL were equally effective in preventing further increase of the erythrocyte T/T ratio, which was observed in cholestatic and noncholestatic nonsupplemented mice (12- and 16-fold the initial value, respectively ...

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is the most prevalent pregnancy-specific liver disease. It occurs mainly in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. It typically resolves after delivery spontaneously but it is associated with an increased risk of adverse fetal outcomes.. The cause of ICP is heterogeneous, pathophysiology is poorly understood and therapies have been empiric. Genetic predispositions, environmental influences, dietary factors and hormonal influences have been studied and cited in the literature.. Comparing with placebo, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) has been shown improvement in treatment of pruritus in previous studies. S-adenosylmethionine, guar gum, activated charcoal, dexamethasone, cholestyramine, etc. are not effective in the treatment of symptoms..

Introduction Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease common in postmenopausal women, characterised by the presence of serum antimitochondrial antibodies. Exposure to environmental xenobiotics and estrogenic drugs has been linked to an increased incidence of PBC and cholestasis respectively. We hypothesized that exposure to environmental xenoestrogens may be a risk factor for PBC. Methods A screening system by which compounds could be tested for transcriptional estrogenic activity was developed and validated. Compounds were screened for human estrogenic activity by dual luciferase reporter assay and by measurement of the induction of a known estrogen responsive gene, TFF1. The effects of exposure to xenoestrogens on mitochondrial function was assessed by MTS assay and by measurement of TMRM localization. In vivo effects of exposure to xenoestrogens was examined in a range of mouse models. Results A number of xenoestrogens were identified, notably the azo dyes sunset ...

Background Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is an uncommon obstetric condition characterised by intense maternal pruritis and biochemical abnormality. There is a degree of contention regarding the diagnosis and management of ICP, and currently, there are no nationally accepted guidelines. Aims To conduct a survey of Fellows and Members of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) regarding their diagnosis and management ICP. Methods An online survey of currently practising RANZCOG Fellows and Members, utilising Survey Monkey. Results Thirty percent of those sent the survey responded, comprising approximately 40% of practising obstetricians. Fasting bile acid and serum transaminase elevation in association with the characteristic itch define the disease process for the majority of respondents and also inform management decisions. There was no critical level of bile acid elevation that mandated treatment for the majority of respondents. ...

Women with a change in the ABCB11 gene are at risk of developing a condition called intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. Affected women typically develop impaired bile secretion (cholestasis) and pruritus during the third trimester of pregnancy, and these features disappear after the baby is born. A common variation (polymorphism) in the ABCB11 gene is found more often in women who develop this condition than women who do not. This variation leads to a change in a single protein building block (amino acid) in the BSEP protein. Specifically, the amino acid valine is replaced by the amino acid alanine at position 444 of the protein (written as V444A). This change leads to a reduction in the amount of BSEP protein in liver cells. In rare cases, an uncommon change (a mutation) in one copy of the ABCB11 gene is found in women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. A single mutation in this gene increases the risk of developing intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. These mutations likely ...

Cordis Corp., the stent-making arm of healthcare colossus Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), said its acquired Flexible Stenting Solutions as part of turning its back on the coronary stents market in favor of the endovascular arena.. Bridgewater, N.J.-based Cordis didnt reveal the purchase price or any details for its buyout of FSS, which makes the FlexStent self-expanding stent. Cordis said the deal is a chance to expand its reach into the peripheral artery disease and, potentially, into the below-the-knee and venous intervention markets.. FSS first won CE Mark approval in the European Union in January 2009 for its FlexStent self-expanding stent to treat vascular disease, which was later expanded to include additional sizes. Later in 2009 the FlexStent device won 510(k) clearance from the FDA later that year for treating malignant bile duct tumors..

I have a question for you…I have an NP in endo who, up to this point, Ive really liked. Shes personable and kind and knows me and my lifestyle well. She also lets me tinker with things and take the reins on my diabetes management. However, now Im pregnant. And shes had a very hands-off approach. Im afraid I have cholestasis (severe itching, especially at night, though the itching is in my elbows, shoulders, and arms-not palms and feet like classic cholestasis. It was suggested to me that I ask my high-risk MFM OB and my endo about trending my liver labs during pregnancy. The MFM clinician thought we could check them, but never placed an order. My endo wasnt inclined to order them, as shes never followed liver enzymes in pregnancy before. Now, cholestasis is rare (1-2 in 1000), and it has classic symptoms (elevated bile acids being one). But there are cases where it has shown up differently. The bad part is that theres a higher risk of still birth, and so they typically induce at 37 ...

Having a liver transplant is a major life event and research shows that such a substantial physical and emotional change can put you under considerable stress. It is therefore common to experience a whole range of emotions and some people will experience psychological problems following their transplant. This is particularly likely for people without good support from family and friends, those who have had problems like depression before transplant and those with substance use disorders.. However, there are studies that show that people who receive a liver transplant also receive psychological benefits. Many people who have problems before transplant, including memory impairment, slow reactions, anxiety and depression that are common in end-stage liver disease, find that the transplant helps these considerably.. It is important to be realistic about life with your new liver and be patient with yourself. Years of living with a serious liver problem, the uncertainty about receiving a transplant ...

Particles were found in cases of chronic hepatitis in hepatocellular nuclei, and these were identified as Australia antigen HB Ag by its ability to combine with ferritin labelled HB antibody. The relation of HB Ag to hepatitis has been postulated to be related to the response of the host to an antigen composed in large part of the hosts own protein. Two animal models were studied. One was galactosamine induced hepatitis, in which the ultrastructural details of orotate protection was investigated, and the second was alpha naphthyliocyanate induced cholestasis, in which the bile acid pattern and the relation of jaundice to the development of peripheral cholestasis were elucidated.
