[Rotor syndrome. A long-term study].

G Meuret, K Beck

    Schweizerische Medizinische Wochenschrift
    |January 24, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This 28-year study followed a Rotor syndrome patient, revealing persistent jaundice and impaired bilirubin excretion. Liver histology showed stable siderosis, with transaminase levels fluctuating with physical stress.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Clinical Biochemistry
    • Genetic Liver Diseases

    Context:

    • Rotor syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
    • Long-term follow-up studies are crucial for understanding the natural history and clinical manifestations of rare genetic liver diseases.

    Purpose:

    • To document the 28-year clinical course and biochemical profile of a patient with Rotor syndrome.
    • To investigate the histological changes in the liver over time and their correlation with clinical findings.

    Summary:

    • A patient with Rotor syndrome presented with chronic jaundice (5-8 mg/dL total bilirubin, predominantly direct), mild liver enlargement, and hepatic siderosis.
    • Histological examination revealed consistent siderosis in hepatocytes across biopsies taken 6 years apart.

  • Biochemical findings included hypersideremia, hypercholesterolemia, elevated urinary bilirubin and urobilinogen, and impaired hepatic excretion of bilirubin and BSP, while menthol glucuronide formation was normal.

    • Impact:

    • This case study provides valuable long-term data on the clinical progression and histological features of Rotor syndrome.
    • Findings highlight the stability of hepatic siderosis and the influence of physical and dietetic stress on serum transaminase levels in this condition.
