[Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis: a seven-year follow-up report].
[benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis]
Benign
recurrent
intrahepatic
cholestasis
is
a
rare
autosomal
recessive
disorder
characterized
by
repeated
episodes
of
intense
pruritus
and
jaundice
.
Patients
are
completely
asymptomatic
for
months
to
years
between
symptomatic
periods
.
We
report
a
case
of
a
patient
with
a
7
-
year
history
of
benign
recurrent
intrahepatic
cholestasis
.
During
the
follow-up
period
the
patient
has
suffered
three
attacks
of
cholestasis
,
confirmed
by
biochemical
tests
and
histological
exam
.
Liver
enzymes
were
normal
between
the
cholestasis
episodes
.
Despite
multiple
attacks
of
cholestasis
,
no
permanent
liver
damage
has
occurred
.
Although
the
diagnosis
of
benign
recurrent
intrahepatic
cholestasis
is
rare
,
it
should
be
included
in
the
evaluation
of
a
patient
with
cholestasis
.
The
patients
should
be
reassured
of
the
benign
course
of
this
disorder
.
