    dysfunction called cholestasis, during which the liver cells have a reduced ability to release a digestive fluid called bile. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

    Additionally, the picture may be complicated by the fact that patients who require TPN have primary gastrointestinal disorders that can cause liver dysfunction and cholestasis. [wjgnet.com]

Prognosis is better for cholestatic compared to hepatocellular DILI, based on the data from Spain and Sweden but the opposite was found in results from the United States. [wjgnet.com]

Given both clinical courses, this mutation seems to be associated with a favorable prognosis, although long-term consequences cannot yet be assessed. [saudijgastro.com]

Although the exact etiology of cholestasis is incompletely understood, it is hypothesized that ATP8B1 deficiency results in enhanced cholesterol extraction from the canalicular membrane, which impairs the function of the bile salt export pump (BSEP), [thieme-connect.com]

Etiology BRIC1 is allelic to PFIC1 (see this term) and is caused by mutations in the ATP8B1 gene (18q21) encoding a P-type ATPase expressed at the canalicular membrane of hepatocytes as well as in other epithelia. [orpha.net]

Other etiologies: Genetic disorders; Biliary disease (eg. Caroli), transporter defects (PFICs/BRICs), Metabolic (Niemann-Pick C, tyrosinemia, HFI, Peroxisomal, GSDs, Peroxisomal, Mitochondrial, A1AT). [gutsandgrowth.wordpress.com]

Epidemiology [ 3 ] This generally relates to the epidemiology of underlying conditions. Extrahepatic cholestasis accounts for 70% of all cholestasis cases. [patient.info]

Epidemiology [ edit ] Consanguinity is believed to be a major risk factor. Similar transport protein mutations are believed to pose a higher risk for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. [en.wikipedia.org]
