Abstract:
Cholestatic pruritus is a debilitating symptom associated with many liver diseases and is often refractory to medical management. Nasobiliary drainage is a relatively safe and effective method for treating intractable cholestatic pruritus. It should be considered for patients with refractory cholestatic pruritus who have failed or have contraindications to medical therapy as a predictor of response before surgical fistula creation.
