In infants suspected of neonatal biliary atresia, phenobarbital is used in preparation for a 99m Tc-IDA hepatobiliary study that differentiates atresia from hepatitis or cholestasis.
33.
Moderate to high kava beverage consumption also produces a reversible increase in the liver enzyme gamma glutamyltransferase ( GGT ), which may be an early indicator of cholestasis.
34.
GRACILE is an acronym for growth retardation, amino aciduria ( amino acids in the urine ), cholestasis, iron overload, lactic acidosis, and early death.
35.
These findings suggest that the reflux of bile into the plasma compartment causes the formation of lipoprotein-X in cholestasis as a result of a physicochemical, nonmetabolic process.
36.
When these ducts are damaged, bile and other toxins build up in the liver ( cholestasis ) and over time damages the liver tissue in combination with ongoing immune related damage.
37.
Other causes of KF rings are cholestasis ( obstruction of the bile ducts ), primary biliary cirrhosis and " cryptogenic " cirrhosis ( cirrhosis in which no cause can be identified ).
38.
It has been supposed that reduced LCAT activities, common in patients with hepatocellular disease, cause, alone or in combination with other factors, the formation of Lipoprotein-X in cholestasis.
39.
In less than five percent of cases, accumulation of protoporphyrin in the liver results in cholestasis ( blockage of bile flow from the liver to the small intestine ) and terminal liver failure.
40.
This concerned the healing of the infant Eric Catania ( b . 2002 ) from mironodular infantile cirrhosis with acute liver decompensation in addition to ascites and cholestasis and hypocoagulation on 24 July 2001 in London.
