We report a 13-year-old boy who developed fever, rash and hepatitis with cholestasis (on biochemistry and liver histology) after 10 weeks' use of carbamazepine. Recovery of liver biochemistry occurred 4 months after discontinuing the drug.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is characterized by abnormal bile acid metabolites and altered gut microbiota, with no effective treatments available. Vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic, has emerged as a promising candidate. However, the mechanism by which vancomycin impacts the progression of PSC remains unknown.

The treatment of the underlying cause of liver disease may potentially reverse hepatic fibrosis. However, it remains uncertain whether improvement in fibrosis can be observed in decompensated liver cirrhosis (LC). Here, we present a case of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH)-related LC in which histological improvement of fibrosis was achieved despite the presence of decompensated LC.

Article Synopsis
- * Reverse analysis showed that liver disease patients also reported significantly higher instances of chronic pruritus, indicating a two-way relationship.
- * Multivariate logistic regression revealed increased odds of specific liver diseases among those with pruritus, particularly hepatitis B and metabolic dysfunction-related liver conditions.
CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Knockout Zebrafish: Unraveling the Pathogenesis of Erythropoietic Protoporphyria and Facilitating Drug Screening.

Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP1) results in painful photosensitivity and severe liver damage in humans due to the accumulation of fluorescent protoporphyrin IX (PPIX). While zebrafish () models for porphyria exist, the utility of ferrochelatase () knockout zebrafish, which exhibit EPP, for therapeutic screening and biological studies remains unexplored. This study investigated the use of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9-mediated -knockout zebrafish larvae as a model of EPP1 for drug screening.
