Abstract: Objectives To investigate the value of hepatobiliary scintigraphy in evaluation of the hepatic uptake and excre-tion function in neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deifciency (NICCD). Methods Hepatobiliary scintigraphy with SPECT was used to detect the hepatic uptake and excretion function of 12 patients with NICCD conifrmed by SLC25A13 gene analysis, and the results were compared with the results of blood biochemical tests. Results The hepatic uptake and excretion function were obviously impaired in all of 12 NICCD patients in the initial scintigraphy. The scintigraphy were performed again in 5 patients in the follow-up after treatment, and showed that the hepatic uptake and excretion function was recovered. It was sug-gested that the hepatic uptake and excretion function was consistent with the level of liver enzymes and the degree of cholestasis. Conclusions Hepatobiliary scintigraphy is of value in evaluation of the hepatic uptake and excretion function in NICCD patients.
