Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis

Abstract: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a group of rare disorders which are caused by defect in bile secretion and present with intrahepatic cholestasis, usually in infancy and childhood. These are autosomal recessive in inheritance. The estimated incidence is about 1 per 50,000 to 1 per 100,000 births, although exact prevalence is not known. These diseases affect both the genders equally and have been reported from all geographical areas. Based on clinical presentation, laboratory findings, li… Show more

“…Estima-se que a incidência seja de 1:50 mil a 1:100 mil nascimentos, sem predisposição de sexo e relatada em diversas regiões geográficas. 1,2 A PFIC é responsável por 10 a 15% das síndromes colestáticas neonatais, podendo evoluir para falência hepática em 15% dos casos, necessitando de transplante de fígado. [1][2][3][4] Atualmente, são reconhecidas três formas de PFIC (1, 2 e 3), baseadas no defeito genético envolvido no transporte de bile.…”
