Inclusion Criteria

  • In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject should:
  • 1. Be able to provide informed consent
  • 2. Meet the criteria of one of the following subgroups:
  • a) Patients of >=18 years of age who are diagnosed with non-hereditary
  • hepatobiliary diseases leading to cholestasis e.g.:
  • Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)
  • Based on: elevated serum alkaline phosphatase and *GT and characteristic
  • lesions on ERCP and/or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreaticography (MRCP)
  • Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)
  • Based on >=2 of 3 criteria: history of elevated alkaline phosphatase for at
  • least 6 months, liver biopsy consistent with PBC, positive anti-mitochondrial
  • antibody titer (or when low in titer anti-GP210 and/or anti-SP100 and/or
  • anti-PDC-E2 antibodies)
  • Malignant cholestatic diseases (e.g. cholangiocarcinoma)
  • Based on the criteria of the subdiagnosis.
  • b) Patients prone to hereditary cholestatic diseases (patients of < 18 years of
  • age are exempted from punch biopsies):
  • Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC)
  • Based on: confirmed mutations in the ATP8B1, ABCB11 or ABCB4 genes.
  • Alagille syndrome
  • Based on: confirmed mutations in the JAG1 or NOTCH2 genes.
  • c) Patients of >=18 years of age who are prone to intrahepatic cholestasis of
  • pregnancy (ICP).
  • Based on: pruritus in pregnancy, elevated serum ALT activities and fasting
  • bile acid levels, and exclusion of other causes of liver dysfunction or
  • itching. Serum liver tests and fasted bile acids should normalize after

Exclusion Criteria

  • Subjects who could be considered as a vulnerable population will be excluded
  • from participation in this study:
  • 1. Clinically unstable subjects (as assessed by their treating physician)
  • 2. Subjects with a confirmed infection
  • 3. Subjects with a dermatologic disease other than the skin phenotype
  • associated with cholestasis
  • 4. Subjects admitted to the ICU
  • 5. Subjects experiencing itch as a result of cholestasis for less than three
  • 6. Subject who are prone to another hepatic disease
