  • Title: [Diagnostic value of laboratory and scintigraphic investigations in young infants with cholestatic jaundice (author's transl)].
    Author: Poley JR, Burdelski M.
    Journal: Leber Magen Darm; 1979 Apr; 9(2):55-9. PubMed ID: 87997.
    Abstract:
    The diagnostic value of laboratory and scintigraphic examination techniques in young infants with cholestatic jaundice will be discussed. The correct diagnosis of neonatal hepatitis or extrahepatic biliary atresia cannot be derived from such investigations as determination of bilirubin, enzyme activities, immunologic or serologic parameters or scintigraphy of the liver. Only quantitative changes of serum LP-X before and after administration of cholestyramin and the modified rose-bengal test may help to establish a correct diagnosis in cholestatic jaundice during the first 6 weeks of life.
