    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Rotor syndrome involves elevated bilirubin, primarily conjugated, with abnormal liver function tests and BSP retention. Phenobarbital treatment effectively reduced bilirubin and BSP levels in patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Rotor syndrome is a rare genetic disorder affecting bilirubin metabolism.
    • Distinguishing Rotor syndrome from other cholestatic liver diseases is clinically important.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present case reports of patients diagnosed with Rotor syndrome.
    • To detail the clinical, biochemical, histological, and scintigraphic findings in these patients.
    • To evaluate the therapeutic effect of phenobarbital.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of clinical chemistry values for liver function.
    • Bromosulfophthalein (BSP) retention tests.
    • Liver histology.
    • Sequential scintigraphy using 131I-BSP.

    Main Results:

    • Elevated serum bilirubin, predominantly conjugated, was observed in all patients.
    • Bromosulfophthalein (BSP) tests showed impaired hepatic uptake and storage.
    • Liver scintigraphy revealed disturbed BSP handling.
    • Phenobarbital therapy resulted in decreased serum bilirubin and BSP retention.

    Conclusions:

    • Rotor syndrome is characterized by specific patterns of bilirubin elevation and BSP test abnormalities.
    • Phenobarbital demonstrates efficacy in managing hyperbilirubinemia in Rotor syndrome.
    • Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
