Co-existence of primary biliary cirrhosis and ulcerative colitis
Abstract
Abstract
A sixty-four years old female patient who had ulcerative colitis for 7 years ago and still under treatment was admitted to the clinic for her refractory pruritus. Laboratory tests revealed elevated liver function tests. Anti-mitochondrial antibody was positive. Her liver biopsy was consistent with primary biliary cirrhosis showing infiltration of portal areas with lymphocytes and histiocytes and convenient treatment was initiated. We present this case report because of the rare co-existence of ulcerative colitis and primary biliary cirrhosis.
Keywords: Ulcerative colitis, primary biliary cirrhosis
Özet
Altmış dört yaşında, yedi yıl önce ülseratif kolit tanısı konan ve halen tedavisi devam etmekte olan kadın hasta geçmeyen kaşıntı semptomu ile kliniğe kabul edildi. Yapılan tetkiklerde karaciğer fonksiyon testleri yüksek bulundu. Anti-mitokondrial antikor pozitifti, karaciğer biyopsisinde portal alanların lenfosit ve histiyositlerle infiltre olduğu raporlanarak primer bilier siroz tanısı ile tedavisine başlandı. Ülseratif kolit ve primer bilier siroz hastalığının birlikte nadir görülmesi nedeniyle sunmaktayız.
