Abstract

Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare genetic disease often causing episodes of jaundice since childhood. Its triggering factors are still unknown. Hyperthyroidism solely is an infrequent cause of jaundice, and it was never described in association with BRIC. In this article, we reported a woman presenting with a new episode of BRIC and was found to have concomitant hyperthyroidism in the absence of any other potential trigger factor. We conclude that hyperthyroidism may trigger cholestasis in patients with BRIC.
