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 ... -
Autoimmune hepatitis in patients with multiple sclerosis: The role of immunomodulatory treatment
(2019)Background: Development of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) has been sporadically reported in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) either concurrently or after treatment with immunomodulatory drugs, including interferon-beta ... -
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 ... -
Daring-B: Discontinuation of effective entecavir or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate long-term therapy before HBsAg loss in non-cirrhotic HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B
(2018)Background: The remission rates after stopping antivirals in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB) vary among studies, while reliable predictors of relapse have not been identified. This prospective ... -
Effects of acute exercise on liver function and blood redox status in heavy drinkers
(2015)Excessive alcohol consumption can induce oxidative stress, resulting in the development of several diseases. Exercise has been reported to prevent and/or improve a number of health issues through several mechanisms, including ... -
Enhanced expression of miR-21 and miR-150 is a feature of anti-mitochondrial antibody-negative primary biliary cholangitis
(2020)Background & Aims: Anti-mitochondrial-autoantibodies (AMA) remain a hallmark of Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) however approximately 10% of patients test negative for these antibodies. They do not differ in terms of ... -
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 ... -
Increased cholestatic enzymes in two patients with long-term history of ulcerative colitis: Consider primary biliary cholangitis not always primary sclerosing cholangitis
(2017)Several hepatobiliary disorders have been reported in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) being the most specific. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), previously known as primary biliary ... -
Milder disease stage in patients with primary biliary cholangitis over a 44-year period: A changing natural history
(2018)Changes over time in the presenting features and clinical course of patients with primary biliary cholangitis are poorly described. We sought to describe temporal trends in patient and disease characteristics over a 44-year ... -
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis or autoimmune hepatitis? Sometimes a closer look under the surface is needed
(2020)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is nowadays the most common liver disease worldwide. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a relatively rare disease of the liver characterised by female predominance, circulating ... -
Primary biliary cirrhosis presented as peripheral eosinophilia in asymptomatic women with or without elevated alkaline phosphatase
(2004)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease characterized by the destruction of biliary epithelial cells, presumably by autoimmune mechanism(s). Although lymphocytes play a pivotal role in the ... -
Six months exposure to a real life mixture of 13 chemicals' below individual NOAELs induced non monotonic sex-dependent biochemical and redox status changes in rats
(2018)This study assessed the potential adverse health effects of long-term low-dose exposure to chemical mixtures simulating complex real-life human exposures. Four groups of Sprague Dawley rats were administered mixtures ...
