Anti-SLA/LP alone or in combination with anti-Ro52 and fine specificity of anti-Ro52 antibodies in patients with autoimmune hepatitis
(2015)Background & AimsAntibodies (Abs) to soluble liver antigen/liver pancreas (anti-SLA/LP) are considered markers of worse prognosis and outcome in patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) although this assumption has recently ... -
Bone marrow findings in patients with autoimmune liver diseases
(2008)Background and Aims: We have recently reported quantitative and qualitative differences of the bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic progenitor cells in autoimmune hepatitis type-1 (AIH-1) and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). In ... -
Familial primary biliary cirrhosis: Like mother, like daughter?
(2012)The reasons underlying why autoimmune diseases overwhelmingly affect women more than men are not clear. Nor are the reasons why autoimmune disease is more prevalent in families. This review uses primary biliary cirrhosis ... -
IgA anti-b2GPI antibodies in patients with autoimmune liver diseases
(2008)Introduction Recently, we reported a high prevalence of immunoglobulin G and/or immunoglobulin M anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) in patients with autoimmune liver diseases, namely, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary ... -
Melatonin secretion is impaired in women with preeclampsia and an abnormal circadian blood pressure rhythm
(2014)Non-dipping circadian blood pressure (BP) is a common finding in preeclampsia, accompanied by adverse outcomes. Melatonin plays pivotal role in biological circadian rhythms. This study investigated the relationship between ... -
Occult hepatitis B virus infection in patients with autoimmune liver diseases
(2009)Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is characterized by undetectable serum HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) but detectable HBV-DNA in serum or liver. To determine the prevalence and clinical impact of occult HBV in autoimmune ... -
Presence of high avidity anticardiolipin antibodies in patients with autoimmune cholestatic liver diseases
(2006)We studied the prevalence and clinical significance of anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) in primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) as similar data are missing. Ninety-nine PBC patients, 41 ... -
Prevalence of gastric parietal cell antibodies and intrinsic factor antibodies in primary biliary cirrhosis
(2010)Background: We investigated the prevalence of antibodies against gastric parietal cells (GPA), intrinsic factor antibodies (IFA) and the presence of pernicious anemia in a large cohort of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) ... -
Primary biliary cirrhosis-specific autoantibodies in first degree relatives of Greek primary biliary cirrhosis patients
(2012)AIM: To determine the prevalence and significance of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)-specific autoantibodies in first-degree relatives (FDRS) of Greek PBC patients. METHODS: The presence of antimitochondrial antibodies ...
