Adult idiopathic cholestasis: a condition more common in the Canadian Inuit?

In conclusion, AIC is a rare condition diagnosed by exclusion. It appears to be more common in the Canadian Inuit population and those with autoimmune disorders. Advanced liver disease is a frequent finding at presentation. Intervention with ursodiol and/or immunomodulants does not appear to be of therapeutic value. PMID: 29034810 [PubMed - in process]
