AN UNUSUAL CASE OF BENIGN RECURRENT INTRAHEPATIC CHOLESTASIS

Benign intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by episodic cholestasis. Each episode is characterized by repeated episodes of jaundice, intense pruritis last for weeks to months with complete remission. Although each episode is associated with significant morbidity, progressive liver injury and cirrhosis do not occur. In recent studies, few patients progressed to Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis. Here we report a case of 19 years boy with benign intrahepatic cholestasis due to an undulant course terminated by plasma exchange.
