Abstract

Introduction
Neonatal cholestasis (NC) is a group of rare disorders of impaired bile flow characterized by conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia in the newborn and young infant. NC is never physiological but rather, it is a sign of hepatobiliary and/or metabolic disorders, some of which might be fatal if not identified and treated rapidly.
