ABSTRACT
Congenital non-hemolytic jaundice is an important type of jaundice diseases, and except breast milk jaundice, the other types of this disease are relatively rare in clinical practice. Most of them belong to genetic and metabolic liver diseases, including Gilbert syndrome, Crigler-Najjar syndrome, and Lucey-Driscoll syndrome with an increase in unconjugated bilirubin and Dubin-Johnson syndrome and Rotor syndrome with an increase in conjugated bilirubin. With reference to the recent literature in China and foreign countries, this article reviews the pathogenesis, genetic characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and differential diagnosis of six types of hereditary congenital unconjugated jaundice.
ABSTRACT
Dubin-Johnson syndrome is a rare clinical entity. It shows intermittent symptoms such as chronic or intermittent jaundice, abdominal pain, weakness, nausea, vomiting, anorexia and diarrhea. Symptoms are precipitated or aggravated by pregnancy, alcoholism, surgical procedures and intercurrent disease. Chronic idiopathic jaundice is typical of Dubin-Johnson syndrome and its prognosis is good. We describe a case of prolonged cholestasis for more than 10 months caused by acute A viral hepatitis in a patient with Dubin-Johnson syndrome. It is a first report of cholestasis complicated by acute A viral hepatitis in a patient with Dubin-Johnson syndrome.
