Benign recurrent cholestasis with normal gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase activity

J Pediatr. 1992 Jul;121(1):78-80. doi: 10.1016/s0022-3476(05)82546-6.

Abstract

We report two observations of intrahepatic cholestasis with normal serum levels of gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase. These cases fit the diagnostic criteria of benign recurrent cholestasis and show that it, like Byler disease, is another form of pediatric intrahepatic cholestasis with a normal gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase level in the infant.
