脓毒症患者的高胆红素血症:诊断挑战

Abstract

Cholestasis due to sepsis is commonly seen in critically ill patients; however, it is often overlooked and poses a challenge in clinical diagnosis and management. In this report, we present a 29-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with jaundice and symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Initially suspected to be Dubin-Johnson syndrome, sepsis-induced cholestasis was eventually diagnosed after testing. Sepsis should always be considered as part of the differential diagnosis while managing a patient with jaundice. The management of sepsis-induced cholestasis involves treating the underlying infection. In most cases, liver injury improves with the resolution of the infectious process.
