Pregnancies in women with rare diseases: Selected maternal and perinatal outcomes

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Pregnancies in women with rare diseases carry substantial disease‐related (23.2%) and pregnancy‐specific (25.1%) risks. Complication rates drop markedly when conditions are stable before conception. Abstract Introduction Rare diseases (RD) are characterized by chronicity and may be associated with reduced life expectancy and quality of life.

Genetic Cholestasis: Lessons from the Molecular Physiology of Bile Formation

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2000
Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a group of severe genetic cholestatic liver diseases of early life. PFIC types 1 and 2 are characterized by cholestasis and a low to normal serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) activity, whereas in

Disordered Bile Acid Metabolism in Alcohol‐Related Hepatitis

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Serum conjugated primary bile acids accumulate in alcohol‐related hepatitis due to downregulation of hepatocyte bile acid transporters. Hepatocyte growth factor is elevated in alcohol‐related hepatitis and downregulates BSEP expression. This detrimentally affects the hepatoprotective adaptive reduction in NTCP/increase in BSEP seen in cholestasis ...

Tauroursodeoxycholic acid exerts anticholestatic effects by a cooperative cPKC alpha-/PKA-dependent mechanism in rat liver. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Objective: Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) exerts anticholestatic effects in part by protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent mechanisms. Its taurine conjugate, TUDCA, is a cPKCa agonist.

Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: Epidemiological Trends, Risk Factors, Diagnostic Challenges, and Advances in Personalized Therapy—A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) ranks as the second most common primary liver cancer, compared to about 20% of cases. Its global incidence has climbed over the past four decades, yet early detection remains indefinable due to its asymptomatic nature. Five‐year survival rate of approximately is under 10%.

Transcriptional regulation of hepatobiliary transport systems in health and disease: Implications for a rationale approach to the treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis

open access: yesAnnals of Hepatology, 2005
Hepatobiliary transport systems mediate hepatic uptake and biliary excretion of bile acids, bilirubin and other biliary constituents. Hereditary or acquired defects of these transporters may cause or maintain cholestasis and jaundice under various ...
