Recurrent Jaundice Unraveled: A Case of Benign Recurrent Intrahepatic Cholestasis (BRIC) in an Indian Patient.

Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare, autosomal recessive liver disorder characterized by intermittent episodes of cholestasis without progression to chronic liver disease or cirrhosis. Patients experience recurrent jaundice and severe pruritus, significantly impacting their quality of life. This case report presents a 15-year-old boy with a history of recurrent jaundice and pruritus. The patient was successfully managed with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), leading to symptomatic relief and biochemical improvement. BRIC is a rare disorder and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of recurrent cholestasis in adolescents. Early recognition and appropriate treatment can improve patient outcomes and prevent unnecessary investigations.
