phenobarbital and Cholangitis

phenobarbital has been researched along with Cholangitis in 8 studies

Phenobarbital: A barbituric acid derivative that acts as a nonselective central nervous system depressant. It potentiates GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID action on GABA-A RECEPTORS, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels. It also inhibits glutamate induced depolarizations.
phenobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by ethyl and phenyl groups.

Cholangitis: Inflammation of the biliary ductal system (BILE DUCTS); intrahepatic, extrahepatic, or both.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Phenobarbital (PB) has a reputation for safety, and it is commonly believed that PB-related increases in serum aminotransferase levels do not indicate or predict the development of significant chronic liver disease."5.34Hepatonecrosis and cholangitis related to long-term phenobarbital therapy: an autopsy report of two patients. ( Di Mizio, G; Gambardella, A; Labate, A; Perna, A; Quattrone, A; Ricci, P, 2007)
" Except for the patients with cholestatic hepatitis, in whom marked cholestasis was virtually the only abnormality in liver biopsy specimens, serum bilirubin and bile acid concentrations were diminished during therapy, the hepatic clearance of sulfobromophthalein and 131-I-rose bengal was variably enhanced, and there was relief from pruritus."3.65Phenobarbital effects in cholestatic liver diseases.
