Abstract
Five patients with a paucity of intrahepatic bile ducts are described. Cholestyramine, an anion exchange resin, relieved their pruritus as anticipated. In two patients, liver function and physical growth improved when the concentrations of serum bile acids were decreased to normal values. From these observations it appears that bile acids may exert a deleterious effect on hepatic metabolism.
