Abstract

Primary sclerosing cholangitis/autoimmune hepatitis (PSC/AIH) and primary biliary cirrhosis/AIH (PBC/AIH) overlap syndromes are poorly defined variants of AIH. Few large patient series exist, and there are little data on long-term outcomes. To compare presentation, clinical course and outcome of patients with PSC/AIH and PBC/AIH, with patients with definite AIH. Methods Two hundred and thirty-eight AIH patients were compared with 10 PBC/AIH patients and 16 PSC/AIH patients presenting consecutively between 1971 and 2005 at a single centre. Autoimmune hepatitis patients were significantly more likely to present with jaundice (69.4% vs. 25%; P = 0.0145) than PBC/AIH patients. Median serum aspartate aminotransferase activity at presentation was higher in AIH patients compared with PBC/AIH and PSC/AIH patients respectively (620 vs. 94 vs. 224 IU/L; P < 0.05). PBC/AIH patients demonstrated no response to standard AIH therapy more frequently than AIH patients (25% vs. 0.8%; P = 0.0057). Significant reduction in survival was identified between patients with PSC/AIH and those without (hazard ratio: PSC/AIH vs. AIH = 2.08, PSC/AIH vs. PBC/AIH = 2.14; P = 0.039). Patients with PSC/AIH have severe disease and significantly worse prognosis ...Continue Reading
