Analyzed the results of surgical treatment of 132 patients, including 68 — for cancer of the pancreatic head (in 46 — with jaundice) and 64 — chronic pancreatitis (CP) with a primary lesion of the pancreatic head (16 — with jaundice). The distribution of patients into groups was carried out with a maximum value of classification functions calculated by special formulas. Next studied indicators of endothelial dysfunction for differential diagnosis. A certain threshold of VEGF = 346 pg / ml, in which the patients were divid' ed into groups: СP and cancer on the pancreatic head. It was even more accurate indi' cator threshold VEGF = 248 pg / ml. To predict the severity of the pathological process, along with the use of diagnostic data, using the method of classification trees. Pancreatoduodenal resection for Whipple was performed in 23 patients, for Traverso— Longmire — in 8, subtotal right sided pancreatectomy for Fortner — in 3, hepaticoje' junostomy by Roux — in 8, duodenopreserving resection for Beger — in 6, her Bernese option — in 7, operation Frey — in 51. In 26 (19.7%) patients, minimally invasive inter' vention for removal of bile were spread through the final primary pathological process and severe general state. Postoperative complications occurred in 18 (13.6%) patients, died 3 (2.3%).

Jaundice is a key manifestation of hepatobiliary disease in all age groups. Jaundice is a common finding in the first 2 weeks after birth, occurring in 2.4% to 15% of newborns. The neonatal liver is at increased susceptibility to cholestasis, with an incidence ranging from 1 in 2,500 to 1 in 5,000 live births. Etiologies vary, but the most common is biliary atresia. In 2004, the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition published guidelines for the evaluation of cholestasis that clearly stated any infant with jaundice persisting beyond age 2 weeks (3 weeks in breast-fed infants with an otherwise normal history and physical examination) should be evaluated with a fractionated serum bilirubin level. Prompt evaluation, diagnosis, and intervention are vital to optimize timely intervention and improve clinical outcomes. This article discusses the etiology, diagnosis and evaluation of cholestatis in infants. [Pediatr Ann. 2016;45(12):e414-e419.].

In cases of infants with yellow colouration, both the sclerae and the skin should be examined. The top priority is to rule out conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia, which may be a symptom of biliary atresia. Children with this condition will first develop yellow sclerae, and will have jaundice that continues beyond the first two weeks of life. Although discoloured stools are a classic sign of biliary atresia, they are not always present. Children over two weeks of age with yellow skin should therefore be assessed immediately, regardless of the colour of the stool.

Fluorescein is a chemical dye frequently used in eye diseases to assess blood flow in the retina, choroid tissue, and iris. Although it has many known adverse effects, it has not previously been reported to lead to jaundice. The purpose of this case report was to emphasize that for patients presenting at the emergency department with jaundice symptoms, it should not be forgotten by emergency physicians that jaundice can develop after fluorescein angiography. Case: A 65-year-old woman presented at the emergency department with extensive jaundice that had developed on her entire body a few hours after fluorescein angiography applied because of vision impairment. The test results for all the diseases considered to cause jaundice were normal,and fluorescein-related jaundice was diagnosed. Conclusion: A detailed anamnesis should be taken when jaundice is seen in patients who have undergone fluorescein angiography, and it should not be forgotten that fluorescein dye is a rare cause of jaundice.

Review
Kidney injury in deeply jaundiced patients became known as cholemic nephropathy. This umbrella term covers impaired renal function in cholestatic patients with characteristic histomorphological changes including intratubular cast formation and tubular epithelial cell injury. Cholemic nephropathy represents a widely underestimated but important cause of kidney dysfunction in patients with cholestasis and advanced liver disease. However, the nomenclature is inconsistent since there are numerous synonyms used; the underlying mechanisms of cholemic nephropathy are not entirely clear, and widely accepted diagnostic criteria are still missing. Consequently, the current article aims to summarize the present knowledge on the clinical and morphological characteristics, available preclinical models, derived potential pathomechanisms, and future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in cholemic nephropathy. Furthermore, we provide a potential research agenda for this evolving field.
