Acute hypoadrenocorticism (adrenal crisis) in the dog:a report on six clinical cases [Οξύς υποφλοιοεπινεφριδισμος (αδισσώνια κρίση) στο σκύλο:αναφορά σε έξι περιστατικά]
(2017)Medical records of six dogs admitted with acute hypoadrenocorticism were reviewed. All 6 animals were bradycardic and had prolonged capillary refilling time. Hypothermia was detected in 5/6 animals. Clinicopathological ... -
Alcoholic liver disease and autoimmune hepatitis: Sometimes a closer look under the surface is needed
(2021)Aims: Differential diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) incorporates various liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease (ALD). We report on clinical, laboratory and outcome characteristics of AIH patients who ... -
Anemia associated with autoimmune liver disease in a middle-aged female
(2019)Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) can coexist as a variant syndrome of autoimmune liver disease. The case is reported of a 49-year-old woman with anemia and ascites, in whom laboratory tests ... -
Assessment of copper accumulation in archived liver specimens from cats
(2021)Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess hepatic copper concentrations and zonal distribution in cat liver specimens. Methods: For this study, 121 archived, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded liver specimens from ... -
Association Between Level of Hepatitis D Virus RNA at Week 24 of Pegylated Interferon Therapy and Outcome
(2015)Background & Aims: Interferon is the only effective treatment for chronic hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection. No rules have been set for stopping treatment based on viral kinetics. We analyzed data from an international ... -
Autoimmune hepatitis type-2 and Epstein-Barr virus infection in a toddler: Art of facts or an artifact?
(2013)Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can cause frequently asymptomatic (or anicteric) and self-limited hepatitis, while occasionally may result in considerable cholestatic hepatitis. Herein, we describe the case of a previously healthy ... -
Belimumab is a promising third-line treatment option for refractory autoimmune hepatitis
(2020)Background & Aims: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a disease of unknown aetiology with a favourable response to immunosuppression. However, in the clinic, it appears that <50% of patients achieve complete response on standard ... -
A case of membranous nephropathy associated with Sjögren syndrome, polymyositis and autoimmune hepatitis
(2008)Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, especially lacrimal and salivary. The immunologic process which occurs in this syndrome is B cell ... -
COMP serum levels: A new non-invasive biomarker of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic viral hepatitis
(2017)Background & aims Recently we have shown that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), a fibrillar collagen assembly regulator, is strongly associated with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma progression. Therefore, ... -
Confluent hepatic fibrosis as the presenting imaging sign in nonadvanced alcoholic cirrhosis
(2004)Confluent hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is usually a feature of advanced cirrhosis, while occurrence in early stage compensated cirrhosis is uncommon. We report the imaging findings of masslike CHF in a patient with previously ... -
Early primary biliary cirrhosis: A new association with erythema nodosum of unknown origin
(2010)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is associated with immune-mediated dermatologic disorders. The association of PBC with erythema nodosum (EN) seems rare. We report two females (42 and 44 years old) with low-grade fever, ... -
Fetomaternal alloimmunity as a cause of liver disease
(2011)Fetomaternal alloimmune disease has traditionally been associated with haematological disease such as fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopaenia and Rh haemolytic anaemia, but is now known to also be organ specific. Alloimmune ... -
FibroMeter scores for the assessment of liver fibrosis in patients with autoimmune liver diseases
(2021)Introduction and Objectives: We assessed FibroMeter virus (FMvirus) and FibroMeter vibration-controlled transient elastography (FMVCTE) in 134 patients with autoimmune liver diseases [ALD, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and ... -
First Results From a Propensity Matching Trial of Mycophenolate Mofetil vs. Azathioprine in Treatment-Naive AIH Patients
(2022)Background/Aims: As previous real-world studies and meta-analyses have shown that mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) might have better efficacy than azathioprine (AZA) in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), we conducted a propensity ... -
Glycogenic hepatopathy as a cause of severe deranged liver enzymes in a young patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus
(2019)Glycogenic hepatopathy (GH) is a rare complication of poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We present a 19-year-old woman with T1DM and autoimmune thyroiditis who admitted to our department because of abrupt ... -
Hepatitis B virus and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
(2007)Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare type of primary liver cancer that arises from intrahepatic bile ducts. Its etiopathogenesis has been considered to be independent of the presence of chronic viral hepatitis ... -
Low prevalence of HCV, HIV, and HTLV-I/II infection markers in northwestern Greece: Results of a 3-year prospective donor study (1995-1997)
(2003)Background: The risk of infection with transfusion-transmitted viruses has been reduced remarkably. A zero-risk blood supply, however, remains a popular goal. A 3-year prospective donor study was conducted in the Epirus ... -
Minimal invasive technique for gene delivery in porcine liver lobe segment
(2011)Introduction: The feasibility and outcome of large volume injection of gene solution in a segment of a liver lobe, without backflow, were studied in a porcine model, using a custom-designed balloon catheter. Method: Eight ... -
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis or autoimmune hepatitis? Sometimes a closer look under the surface is needed
