Core Tip Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a genetically and mechanistically diverse group of cholestatic liver disorders whose clinical spectrum spans from childhood well into adulthood. The disease classification has evolved from a numerical system to a mechanism-based framework encompassing defects in canalicular transport, membrane stability, tight junction integrity, intracellular trafficking, and bile acid regulation. This comprehensive review underscores the significance of integrating early genetic testing with biochemical patterns, particularly gamma-glutamyl transferase levels, for accurate diagnosis. Genotype-phenotype correlations and extrahepatic manifestations are essential for prognostic assessment and individualized management. Emerging targeted therapies, including ileal bile acid transporter inhibitors, support a mechanism-driven approach to PFIC.
