“…However, the etiology of cholestasis in newborns at intensive care settings has a spectrum different from that reported in epidemiological studies (4,6), and is usually on multifactorial basis (7)(8)(9)(10)(11). In this population, common perinatal events such as perinatal hypoxia, parenteral nutrition, sepsis, poor enteral feeding, and cardiovascular collapse can contribute to the development of cholestasis (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19), in addition to the structurally and functionally immature biliary tract (1,8). Thus, the diagnosis of neonatal cholestasis in this population is one of the most challenging issues.…”
