Elevation of gamma-glutamyl transferase in adult: Should we think about progres...
Oliveira, HM; Pereira, C; Santos Silva, E; Pinto-Basto, J; Miranda, HBackground: There are three types of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC). Type 3 is characterized by elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase (γ-GT) and it can be diagnosed in adolescence/adulthood. The genetic defect of PFIC 3 appears to explain the pathogenesis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). Aims: Draw attention to this rare disease, especially in adulthood, and clarify the associ...
Liver gender dimorphism - insights from quantitative morphology

Nevertheless, it is still unknown if gender dimorphism occurs in the structure of the normal liver. In recent ye...
