OBIETTIVI ED ASPETTI METODOLOGICI La Commissione "Colestasi" dell'Associazione Italiana Studio Fegato (AISF) si è insediata nel settembre 1999. Sono stati invitati a farne parte i soci AISF attivi nel settore della ricerca clinica e di base in tema di cole- stasi ed altri esperti esterni individuati dalla Commissione. E' stato così costituito un panel di esperti mul- tidisciplinare, comprendente specialisti in gastroenterologia, epatologia, pediatria, endoscopia digestiva, chirurgia epato-biliare, radiologia ed anatomia patologica. L'obiettivo che la Commissione si è proposto è stato quello di elaborare un documento tecnico, basato sui principi della medicina basata sull'evidenza (evidence-based-medicine), da utilizzarsi come strumento di riferimento nella gestione clinica delle diverse forme di colestasi. Sono stati individuati tre obiettivi specifici principali: 1) definire i criteri di diagnosi e terapia delle diverse forme di colestasi intra-epatica ed extraepatica dell'età adulta e dell'età pediatrica; 2) definire l'uso razionale delle diverse metodiche diagnostiche e terapeutiche; 3) definire le modalità di trattamento dei sintomi. Nell'elaborazione del documento tecnico la Commissione ha proceduto ad effettuare preliminarmente una revisione sistematica della letteratura tramite MEDLINE, che è stata affidata ad uno o più esperti per cia- scun argomento. Quindi sono stati elaborati drafts preliminari su ciascun tema che sono stati inviati di volta in volta per e-mail a tutti i componenti della Commissione per essere sottoposti a revisione. Infine è stato elaborato il documento finale, che è stato approvato da tutta la Commissione in più sedute collegiali. In secondo luogo la Commissione ha utilizzato l'elaborato tecnico per stendere, quando possibile, linee guida (o raccomandazioni) per la diagnosi e terapia di alcune forme di colestasi, rivolte sia al medico di base che allo specialista. Il documento tecnico e le raccomandazioni hanno tenuto conto, ove possibile, dei livelli di certezza definiti da Ball et al. (1), illustrati nella tabella 1.1. L'applicazione di tali livelli è stata generalmente semplice e completa per la valutazione di studi terapeutici, mentre è stata più difficile per la valutazione di metodiche diagnostiche. Le linee guida elaborate non intendono essere rigidi protocolli ma solo uno strumento con il quale il medico possa confrontarsi in relazione alle sue scelte diagnostiche e terapeutiche. Sia nel documento tecnico che nelle linee guida propriamente dette è indicato, quando possibile, il livello di evidenza scientifi- ca corrispondente ad ogni specifica raccomandazione, unitamente ai riferimenti bibliografici pertinenti. La Commissione ha preso atto nel corso dei lavori che per alcuni argomenti trattati non vi sono meta-ana- lisi, né studi randomizzati o controllati e quindi il livello di evidenza scientifica è modesto. Ciò vale soprat- tutto per le metodiche diagnostiche più innovative e per le patologie meno frequenti, come ad esempio le colestasi pediatriche. Sorprendentemente, però, mancano evidenze scientifiche robuste anche per alcune patologie comuni o per metodiche diagnostiche e terapeutiche di uso routinario. Ne consegue che le affer- mazioni contenute nel presente documento si basano spesso sull'opinione di esperti o derivano da studi non controllati o di modesta qualità. Per limitare la possibilità di errori ed il rischio di autoreferenzialità si è fatto ampio ricorso nell'elaborazione delle linee guida al principio della multidisciplinarietà. Quando possibile, anche la valutazione dei tests diagnostici è stata effettuata tenendo conto di criteri internazio- nalmente riconosciuti (2,3). Infine, la Commissione ha cercato di mettere in evidenza le aree di dissenso o controversia ed i settori per i quali il rapido evolversi della tecnologia biomedica fa prevedere la necessità di rivalutare le attuali raccomandazioni in un prossimo futuro. 291 DOCUMENTI ELABORATI DALLE COMMISSIONI SCIENTIFICHE (RACCOLTA 1996-2001) BIBLIOGRAFIA 1.

DEFINIZIONE DI COLESTASI La colestasi è una sindrome clinica di espressione e gravità variabile conseguenza di una alterazione della secrezione o del normale deflusso di bile nel duodeno. La definizione di colestasi varia a seconda del punto di vista primario che si considera. Dal punto di vista biochimico il comune denominatore è l'elevazione sie- rica di enzimi specifici di colestasi, come la fosfatasi alcalina e la gamma-glutamiltransferasi, e la riten- zione nel sangue di composti colefilici, cioè normalmente secreti nella bile, come i sali biliari e la bilirubi- na. Dal punto di vista istopatologico, la colestasi è definitita dalla presenza di segni di colatostasi e/o bili- rubinostasi. Dal punto di vista clinico la colestasi è caratterizzata dalla presenza di uno o più sintomi di intensità variabile che

The clinical presentation is not always obvious. Therefore, the liver biopsy may be a useful diagnostic tool in the definition of this entity. The hepatic and biliary morphology of five children with arteriohepatic dysplasia (Alagille’s syndrome) is described. Prior to diagnosis, four un­ derwent Kasai procedures after intraoperative cholangiograms failed to demonstrate patency of the extrahepatic bile ducts. In three patients, a focal proximal hypoplasia of the common hepatic duct was demonstrated. Hypoplasia of the gallbladder occurred in two patients. Hepatic features of seQuential liver biopsies obtained in the five patient^ were divided into early and late changes. From birth to four months of age, the pathology consisted of cholestasis and bile duct destruction. After four months of age, there was persistent cholestasis, paucity of interlobular bile ducts and portal fibrosis. The etiology of arteriohepatic dysplasia is unclear. The main pathoge­ nic mechanisms are discussed. It is felt that the syndromatic duct paucity represents an acquired primary ductal defect resulting from a genetically determined immune response to as yet undefined agent or agents.

These diseases correspond to loose connective tissues that permit easy dissection from partial or total arrest of remodeling of the ductal plate, other components. leading to more or less complete persistence of the excess of embryonic biliary structures. The ductal plate malformation may concern different segments of the intrahepatic biliary tree (segmental bile ducts, interlobular bile ducts and the smallest bile duct ramifications) leading to various pathoclinical entities Congenital cystic lesions of bile ducts may affect intra or extrahepatic bile ducts. Intrahepatic lesions include five entities: congenital hepatic fibrosis, Caroli’s syndrome, von Meyenburg complexes, simple cyst of the liver and polycystic liver disease. Congenital hepatic fibrosis and von Meyenburg complexes are secondary to ductal plate malformation affecting the smallest intrahepatic bile ducts. Choledocal cysts, Caroli’s disease and Caroli’s syndrome belong to the some family of congenital malformations of the large bile ducts (1).

Glands of the biliary tree (peribiliary glands: PBGs) are tubulo-alveolar glands with mucinous and serous acini, located deep within intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. We have shown that biliary tree stem/progenitors (BTSCs) are multipotent, giving rise in vitro and in vivo to hepatocytes, cholangiocytes or pancreatic islets.
