Abstract

Large bile duct injury (that seen on cholangiography) is not usually considered a feature of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in adults but is present in up to 50% of children with AIH. The aim of this work was to study the prevalence of large bile duct abnormalities identified by magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) in adults given a diagnosis of AIH. Seventy-nine (n = 79) patients given a diagnosis of AIH (mean AIH score: 15.1 +/- 3.4) were screened with MRC for evidence of sclerosing cholangitis (SC). Results were reviewed by two radiologists. Clinical parameters were correlated with MRC findings. A histological review of available liver biopsies (n = 29) was performed. Of the 79 patients surveyed, 8 (10%) had MRC findings consistent with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The interrater variability was excellent (kappa = 0.87). Younger age at diagnosis (24.3 +/- 11.9), higher baseline alkaline phosphatase (186.4 +/- 98.3), higher bilirubin at time of MRC (45.8 +/- 37.2), and greater lobular activity on initial liver biopsy were significantly associated with the detection of this overlap of SC with AIH (P = 0.024, P = 0.037, P = 0.032, and P = 0.041, respectively), but not alkaline phosphatase/aspartate aminotransferase rat...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Hepatitis

Autoimmune hepatitis formerly called lupoid hepatitis, is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the liver that occurs when the body's immune system attacks liver cells causing the liver to be inflamed. Discover the latest research on autoimmune hepatitis here.
