Studies Conducted at Niloufer Hospital on Cholestasis Recently Published (Clinic-o-etiological profile of cholestasis in infants in a tertiary care center).

A recent study conducted at Niloufer Hospital in Telangana, India, focused on cholestasis in infants. Cholestasis is characterized by cholestatic jaundice, which is a common symptom of hepatobiliary and metabolic dysfunction in neonates. The study aimed to analyze the etiological factors and clinical presentation of infants with cholestasis. The researchers found that a significant proportion of cholestatic disease cases were due to Extra Hepatic Biliary Atresia (EHBA), and if EHBA is not managed within three months of life, liver transplantation becomes the only option. The study also compared outcomes of EHBA with respect to age at presentation and found that survival was significantly higher in infants with EHBA who were operated on before 60 days of life.
