ABSTRACT

Background:Intrahepatic cholestasis is a commonly seen clinical manifestation, and often accompanied with jaundice.Study on clinical characteristics of patients with different degrees of jaundice is helpful for the acknowledge of intrahepatic cholestasis.Aims:To explore the clinical characteristics of intrahepatic cholestasis with jaundice.Methods:General data, biochemistry parameters, etiology and treatment of 703 patients with intrahepatic cholestasis were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Jaundice occurred in 168 patients (23.9%), including 149 mild jaundice, 15 moderate jaundice and 4 severe jaundice.Levels of ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, DBIL, TBIL, ratio of DBIL/TBIL, TBA were significantly increased in jaundice group than in non-jaundice group (P0.05).The main etiology of intrahepatic cholestasis were digestive system tumors, cardiovascular diseases, shock, hematologic diseases and primary biliary cholangitis.Ursodeoxycholic acid and S-ademetionine were the main drugs for treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis.Conclusions:For patients with intrahepatic cholestasis, levels of ALT, AST, ALP, GGT are increased with the development of jaundice, and attention on damage of hepatocytes should be paid.The etiology of intrahepatic cholestasis with jaundice involves diseases of different organs and systems, most of them are malignant tumor, cardiovascular diseases, shock and primary biliary cholangitis.
