Regulatory T Cells in Autoimmune and Viral Chronic Hepatitis
In both autoimmune liver disease and chronic viral hepatitis, the injury results from an immune-mediated cytotoxic T cell response to liver cells. As such, it is not surprising that CD4(+) regulatory T cells, a key regulatory population of T cells able to curb immune responses, could be involved in both autoimmune hepatitis and chronic viral hepatitis. The liver can induce the conversion of naï...
متن کاملPernicious Anemia in Patients with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, Autoimmune Hepatitis, and Chronic Viral Hepatitis
Autoimmune Liver Diseases (ALDs) include Auto Immune Hepatitis (AIH), Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC), and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). Pernicious Anemia (PA) involves an autoimmune process in which atrophy of the gastric mucosa reduces the production of Intrinsic Factor (IF) via parietal cells, inducing vitamin B12 deficiency and megaloblastic anemia [1-5]. Although autoimmune disease...
متن کاملRelationship between hepatitis B DNA Viral load in the liver and it\'s histology in patient with chronic hepatitis B
Background: Serial measurement of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels in the liver and its relation with liver damage and serum HBV DNA levels are guide to begin and/or end a treatment course. This study evaluated the relationship between liver hepatitis B DNA viral load with liver histology in patients with chronic hepatitis B (HBV). Methods: Thirty patients with chronic anti-Hbe positive ...
متن کاملCan Viral Load Predict Liver Histology in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis B?
Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem. Serum HBV DNA measurement is a non-invasive test that predicts the liver disease progression. The aim of this study was to determine the HBV DNA level and look for a relation between the HBV DNA level and liver histology. Methods: This was a cross sectional study on chronic...
متن کاملExpression of Human Cytokine Genes Associated with Chronic Hepatitis B Disease Progression
Background: Hepatitis viruses are non-cytopathic viruses that lead to the infection and pathogenesis of liver diseases as a result of immunologically mediated event. Objective: To investigate the expression of human inflammatory cytokines in chronic hepatitis B patients according to the severity of the infection. Methods: We recruited a total of 120 patients, 40 of whom from cirrhotic, 40 non-c...
