The mechanisms of cholestasis-associated itch

Research output: PhD ThesisPhd-Thesis - Research and graduation internal

Abstract

Itch is, next to fatigue, the most frequent symptom in patients with chronic cholestatic disorders and has serious impact on their lives. Cholestasis is the term for diminished or impaired bile flow. The molecular mechanisms leading to cholestasis-associated itch (pruritus) are still unresolved and the involved pruritogens are indecisive.
