Treatment of Cholestasis in Infants and Young Children
Nicole Heinz 1, Jennifer Vittorio 2

Abstract

Purpose of review: Cholestasis is characterized by a conjugated hyperbilirubinemia secondary to impaired bile synthesis, transport, or excretion from the liver. It is always pathologic and can be indicative of an underlying hepatobiliary, genetic, or metabolic disorder, several of which require timely diagnosis to ensure proper management and optimal outcomes. This review provides an overview of the evaluation of cholestasis with a focus on current and emerging treatment strategies.
