Autoimmune Hepatitis and Celiac Disease: Case Report Showing an Entero-Hepatic Link

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder primarily targeting the small bowel, although extraintestinal extensions have been reported. The autoimmune processes can affect the liver with manifestations such as primary biliary cirrhosis and autoimmune hepatitis.

Among these mosaic patterns, there have been only a few reports of the phylloid presentation in the literature. On the other hand, autoimmune disorders can be associated with neurocutaneous markers and syndromes. A fifteen-year-old girl was presented for chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain. Her...

Celiac disease associated with autoimmune hepatitis and autoimmune hyperthyroidism.

Although celiac disease (CD) may occur in patients with other immune-mediated disorders, its coexistence with multiple autoimmune diseases is not frequently described.

Laboratory tests and liver biopsy wer...

the controversial link between hepatitis b virus and celiac disease

 An autoimmune polyglandular syndrome complicated with celiac disease and autoimmune hepatitis.

 Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS) is a combination of different autoimmune diseases. The close relationship between immune-mediated disorders makes it mandatory to perform serological screening periodically in order to avoid delayed diagnosis of additional autoimmune diseases. We studied a patient with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who later developed an autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) and was ...
