Analysis of the clinical characteristics of patients with Kawasaki disease complicated with cholestasis
KD with cholestasis was associated with a higher risk of IVIG unresponsiveness and coronary artery abnormalities. KD was the leading cause of acute febrile cholestasis in children. Attention to the possibility of KD is warranted in children with acute febrile cholestatic jaundice, especially if associated with elevated WBC, CRP, and D-dimer levels, or hypoalbuminemia.
