• Nausea

  Diagnostic Criteria and Clinical Characteristics Presence of a colicky postprandial pain localized in epigastrium or in the right upper abdomen, in some patients accompanied by nausea or emesis. [basicmedicalkey.com]

  […] intense and dull, typically lasts 1-5 hours, increases steadily over 10-20 minutes, and then gradually wanes Pain that is constant; not relieved by emesis, antacids, defecation, flatus, or positional changes; and sometimes accompanied by diaphoresis, nausea [emedicine.medscape.com]

  The onset of action was rapid (3.4 wk), and UDCA was well-tolerated: e.g., only two patients (11%) experienced side effects (nausea and diarrhea) which required lowering their dosage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  LPAC is typically associated with mild chronic cholestasis, recurrence of symptoms after cholecystectomy, and prevention of recurrence by UDCA. [nature.com]

• Hepatomegaly

  The main clinical features of PFIC3 are hepatomegaly, cholestasis, pruritus, elevated serum bile acids, and high GTP (GGT). [cincinnatichildrens.org]

  The initial symptoms associated with MDR3 deficiency may be jaundice, pale stools and/or hepatomegaly, which can be present during the neonatal period rather than at birth (congenital). [rarediseases.org]

  On examination, there was tinge jaundice and hepatomegaly. Liver felt 4 cm in Rt MCL, 3 cm in midline with hepatic span 10.5 cm in the Rt MCL. It was firm in consistency with smooth surface. [ghrnet.org]

The prognosis in patients with choledocholithiasis depends on the presence and severity of complications. [sites.google.com]

Maternal prognosis is good and symptoms resolve rapidly after delivery,accompanied by normalization of serum liver test. ICP recurs during subsequent pregnancies in 45-70% with varying severity of recurrent episodes. [flipper.diff.org]

Prognosis is poor unless the cancer is localized to the gallbladder, in which case cholecystectomy may be curative. [odlarmed.com]

The cause of ICP is unknown but is thought to be multifactorial with genetic,hormonal and environmental involvement.Family clustering and varying incidence in different geographic regions speaks strongly for a genetic etiology of ICP. [flipper.diff.org]

Patients were excluded from the study if they had an acute pancreatitis with any other etiology, if they suffered from chronic alcoholism or, if at the ultrasound examination, their liver was dysmorphic or had massive steatosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
