http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3122094/ Ramaswamy Ganesh, Natarajan Suresh, Malathi Sathiyasekeran, Priya Ramachandran Abstract Biliary diversion offers a potential option for intractable pruritus in children with chronic cholestatic disorders. Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is an inherited disorder of impaired bile acid transport and excretion, which presents with jaundice and pruritus in the first few months of life and progresses to cirrhosis by infancy or adolescence. We report a child with PFIC type 1 who underwent internal biliary diversion for intractable pruritus and was relieved of his symptoms.

Seroprevalence of celiac disease in patients with autoimmune hepatitis. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2014 Oct; 26(10):1104-7. Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Prevalence data of celiac disease (CD) in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) are scarce. We investigated the relationship between AIH and CD by assessing the prevalence of IgA tissue antitransglutaminase antibodies (TGA) and antiendomysium antibodies (EMA) in a large cohort of AIH patients.
