- Hydrocortisone resolves persistent neonatal jaundice in multiple hormone deficiencies. Helvetica paediatrica acta, 1988 Nov [Go to PubMed]
- Association of prolonged neonatal cholestasis with hypoglycemia, small penis and congenital hypothalamo-hypopituitary derangement is presented. The infant's jaundice was unresponsive to thyroxine replacement therapy but resolved rapidly with hydrocortisone therapy. The time relationships between persistent jaundice and thyroxine and cortisol deficiencies are discussed.

- Cholestasis and hyperbilirubinemia must be seen in association with growth hormone and cortisol deficiency in the context of pathogenesis.
- [Hypoglycemia and cholestatic jaundice in congenital panhypopituitarism]. Monatsschrift Kinderheilkunde : Organ der Deutsche, 1989 Oct [Go to PubMed]
- The case of a female newborn who was first found to have severe recurrent hypoglycemia and then developed cholestasis with conjugated hyperbilirubinemia is presented. No infectious diseases, metabolic defects, or disease of the hepatobiliary system were found. Endocrinological investigations revealed panhypopituitarism. Hypoplasia or aplasia of the pituitary was suspected. Cholestasis and hyperbilirubinemia must be seen in association with growth hormone and cortisol deficiency in the context of pathogenesis.
