Cholangitis autoimmune

The chnical picture of autoimmune cholangitis (AIC) was described by G. Brunner and O. Klinge in 1987. (452) AH patients were women. A genetic disposition was assumed, as all examined daughters and one granddaughter of the female patients had increased ANA and SMA titres as well (with AMA negativity). Treatment with azathioprine and prednisolone was successful. [Pg.659]

In view of the variety of possible immunological reactions directed towards the canaliculi or bile-duct epithelia and the difficulties involved in making a definitive histological diagnosis and classification, it would be feasible to include a so-called overlap syndrome or conversion syndrome in the hypothesis of autoimmune cholangitis.

The methods applied today allow precise differentiation of autoimmune hepatitis, thus providing the necessary early diagnosis. Besides the classical or pure forms of autoimmune hepatitis and autoimmune cholangitis (s. p. 659), FiBV-positive and FiCV-positive individuals and possibly PCR-confirmed carriers should be strictly excluded from types 1-3 with their respective subgroups and classified in their own overlap groups, (s. tab. 33.1) (s. p. 660)... [Pg.685]

UDCA The administration of UDCA offers the least risk due to its relative lack of side effects or interactions. It is the therapy of choice in all overlap syndromes with PBC or PSC features and also in cases with autoimmune cholangitis phenomenology. In view of the above-mentioned positive effects on chronic and acute viral hepatitis as well as in AIH, UDCA is both pharmacologically and clinically plausible as adjuvant therapy. [Pg.687]

Interferon The occurrence of AIH during the treatment of chronic hepatitis B with interferon has already been described (13), as have manifestations and new episodes of inflammation caused by interferon in patients with AIH and chronic hepatitis C. (32, 66, 78) The indication for interferon therapy has to be considered with caution in cases of chronic viral hepatitis with concurrent AIH or autoimmune cholangitis it should also be monitored with great care. In replicative chronic hepatitis B, B/D or C, the chronic viral hepatitis constitutes the major factor - whereas AIH is seen as a concomitant phenomenon. Immunosuppressive therapy is not indicated. In addition, as recent studies show, there are also differences within the HCV infection itself for example, 90% of HCV carriers in Japan and 20% of those in the USA and Germany are at the same time HGV carriers (GB-C). The GB-C and HGV hepatitis viruses are designated defective because they require completion by the helper virus HCV. (s. p. 450)... [Pg.687]

Differential diagnosis The following conditions should be excluded (7.) alcohol-induced liver disease, (2.) primary biliary cholangitis (86), (3.) porphyria cutanea tarda (108), and (4.) autoimmune hepatitis (89) or autoimmune cholangitis (132) associated with anti-HCV. [Pg.701]
