Abstract
Background: Some previous studies have shown that beta-carotene is poorly absorbed in some malabsorptive states (e.g.cystic fibrosis). There are only a few reports of serum beta-carotene con- centration in children with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC). The aim of study was to estimate beta-carotene and vitamin A concentration in children with PFIC after pharmacological (ursodeoxycholic acid –UDCA)or surgical (partial external biliary diversion – PEBD)),with complete relief of cholestasis. Material/Methods: We studied 24 children with PFIC (15 boys and 9 girl)aged 2 to 18 years with complete relief of pruritus and jaundice and normalisation of bile acids concentration (
