The exact etiology of pruritus in chronic cholestasis is unknown. Pruritus intensity does not correlate with common biochemical indices and there is a lack of biomarkers guiding diagnosis and treatment. We explored profiles of bile acids (BA) and muricholic acids (MCA) as well as autotaxin (ATX) antigen levels as potential circulating biomarkers of pruritus in pediatric patients.
