ALLAGILLE SYNDROME

Alagille syndrome (AS) is an autosomal dominant disorder showing genetic predominance of one parent mainly seen in infants having severe cholestatic jaundice and heart murmurs. Therefore, such patients are diagnosed incidentally while screening a liver dysfunction or cardiac patient. It is associated with various abnormalities in liver, skeleton, impaired growth, eyes, kidneys and heart. Such patients exhibit a peculiar and characteristic facial appearance.
It is also known as arteriohepatic dysplasia.


Pathophysiology: Localized mutation of the JAG1 gene (20p12) occurs with variable expression.


The various features seen in the head and neck region in Alagille Syndrome are broadened forehead, pointed chin, elongated nose with bulbous tip. Mental retardation along with poor growth is also reported. These features become more pronounced as the age progresses.
Dentition shows hypoplastic lesions with heavy discoloration of teeth. Due to poor oral hygiene and the ill effects of medications prescribed to the patient to counter the effects of graft rejection (liver and heart). The gingival condition is bad showing signs of inflammation and edema. So, a dental consultation is must for a patient planned or undergoing treatment of this syndrome.


The various medications given to improve the bile flow and reduce itching are Ursodiol, Hydroxyzine, Cholesysteramine and Phenobarbitol. High doses of multivitamins like A, D, E, K prove to a successful measure to treat Alagille syndrome. Oral prophylaxis is mandatory. Corrective surgeries are also done in these cases.

  3. It took almost one year for my first real outbreak but it was the hardest thing in the world to get along with. I felt so unwanted and dirty. I tried many formulas, suggestions, methods to get rid of it permanently. Booked appointment with many doctors, professionals, even religiously until I started getting away spiritually and still it won't go. The worst is my outbreaks occurs within short period and take as long as even weeks to go away. I was at last placed on antiviral treatment which is a good treatment but for how long? I prayed every four times a day for God to cure me miraculously or direct me to cure because I know there is. During outbreaks I thought it's the end of the world but it's not, with time I will become normal again. I started trying fruits and herbs, take herbal produced, and with time became very interested in herbs. I read blogs, websites, and comments on herbs and built a stronger hope. I saw comments and decided to try Dr Utu African Traditional Herbal meds. I know of one mr Brown who was HIV and now brags he was cured of HIV with Dr Utu traditional meds but never give it a thought because I believed HIV already has a cure and never think it through or make a research. And for herpes my doctor told me that there is no known cure. When I saw testimonies of his Herpes cure on sites. I copied his contact drutuherbalcure@gmail.com. I showed it to brown who confirmed it was Dr Utu contact. I contacted him immediately and he also prepared and sent me herbal herpes meds through DHL. Right after getting this traditional meds I followed the prescription cautiously and withing days I started noticing rapid change and I know within me it's the cure. I used it for up to two weeks and when my test result was out not only did this herbal meds cure me but boost my immune and I feel real and free. Dr Utu African Traditional meds have successfully cured Herpes, Warts, HIV, Cancers, Kidney Stone, Asthma, most importantly this traditional meds boost immune and have no after effect.

  7. I am here to tell you about a natural remedy that is
    guaranteed to make you wonder why your doctor didn't tell
