Case Presentation: We report 25-year-old male patient with numerous hospitalizations for jaundice. The diagnosis of BRIC type 1 was established liver biopsy, genetic analysis, and the exclusion alternative etiologies cholestasis. A novel missense heterozygous variant identified in ATP8B1 gene (c.2081T>A). acute cholestatic attack,...
Background Acoustic radiation force impulse point shear wave elastography (ARFI-pSWE), measuring shear-wave velocity (SWV), has been utilized to examine the liver stiffness caused by different etiologies. However, information on its reliability in staging fibrosis chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients is scarce. Purpose The aim of study diagnostic performance ARFI-pSWE and determine optimal SWV cut-off values predict significant ( F ≥2) cirrhosis (F4) CHB patients. Material Methods All 114...
Primary intestinal lymphangiectasia is a rare disorder that may result in protein-losing enteropathy. We report 21-year-old man with malabsorption syndrome, an unintentional weight loss of 30 kg over 10 months, lymphocytopenia, and hepatic aminotransferase elevation. His diagnosis was established by combination enteroscopy, histopathology, secondary etiology exclusion. Institution parenteral nutrition, followed low-fat diet, medium-chain triglycerides, octreotide, resulted the resolution his...
Type B Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) due to a congenital extra-hepatic porto-systemic shunt is an extremely rare condition. We report the case of 57-year-old woman, with recurrent episodes confusion and neuropsychiatric symptoms, who had elevated serum ammonia level superior mesenteric-caval documented on abdominal computed topography (CT) scan. There was no evidence cirrhosis or portal hypertension. A diagnosis non-cirrhotic, non-portal hypertension hepatic made after excluding other causes...
