Congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) usually presents with signs and symptoms of portal hypertension, although cases presenting in infancy with cholestasis are well known [8].[indianpediatrics.net]
CHF has initial presentation may be at around 3-6 months. The presentation ranges between 1.8-14 years, Portal Hypertension is a usual accompaniment and renal involvement is seen with 9 ].[omicsonline.org]
Management [ edit ] Management includes control of esophageal bleeding/varices and treatment of associated renal disease if present.[en.wikipedia.org]
The usual age of presentation is between 1.8 and 14 years [ 4 ]. Tubular renal dysfunction is present in less than 10% of patients. This usually has no clinical manifestation, except in the presence of portal hypertension or cholangitis [ 5 ].[jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]

Treatment of the mother is supportive. Passive immunoprophylaxis should be given to the newborn.[clevelandclinicmeded.com]
Prognosis With proper treatment the prognosis is good but due to the small number of patients, long-term complications remain unknown. . The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only.[orpha.net]
Prognosis depends on the type of atresia: (1) intrahepatic—both nonsyndromic (with cirrhosis usually developing in late childhood, and fatal without liver transplantation) and syndromic (e.g. Alagille’s syndrome, due to mutation in the ...[oxfordmedicine.com]
Early recognition is particularly important in neonates and infants because a delay in diagnosis may have a negative effect on the prognosis.[pedsinreview.aappublications.org]

Etiology of cirrhosis in pregnancy is similar to that in the nonpregnant state and commonly includes alcohol and viral hepatitis C and B. Cirrhosis can affect ovulation and cause infertility.[clevelandclinicmeded.com]
This problem motivated one of the authors to establish a new model of disaster epidemiology.[books.google.com]
Summary Epidemiology The prevalence is unknown. To date, there have been 16 reported cases from 14 families. Clinical description Disease onset usually occurs in infancy or early childhood. Only one reported patient was diagnosed at the age of 20.[orpha.net]
Epidemiology Frequency International Congenital hepatic fibrosis is a rare autosomal recessive disease; the exact incidence and prevalence are not known.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Congenital hepatic fibrosis and Caroli’s disease closely resemble each other pathophysiologically, in that both occur as a result of ductal plate malformation.[omicsonline.org]
Symptoms, which may be early or late, are mostly related to an associated portal hypertension. [2, 5] Pathophysiology Congenital hepatic fibrosis results from a malformation of the ductal plate (the embryological precursor of the biliary system), secondary[emedicine.medscape.com]
There are no clinical markers that predict the course of a pregnancy and the pathophysiologic mechanisms are not always understood, but knowledge and management of the preconception liver disease and efficacious pre-pregnancy and prenatal care are essential[clevelandclinicmeded.com]
Based on this information, strategies are discussed that are aimed at the prevention, early diagnosis and therapy of chronic liver diseases, thus preventing their progression to cirrhosis and its complications, including HCC development.[books.google.com]
More importantly, a preventive active vaccine against hepatitis A is available, and is often used as a preventative mechanism for staff in day-care centres or health settings.[health24.com]

Can portal hypertension be prevented? Some liver diseases due to inborn errors of metabolism like copper and iron cannot be prevented. The same can be said with congenital anatomy problems.[medicinenet.com]
