Concomitant Cases of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis and Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia: Literature Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Although autoimmune diseases are often concomitant, the coexistence of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is not common. This is a review of the English and Japanese literature, regarding concomitant cases of PBC and AIHA. Among the 23 concomitant cases, PBC was diagnosed first in 10 cases and both diseases were almost simultaneously diagnosed in the remaining 13 cases. This suggests that there have been few concomitant cases in which AIHA developed first before the development of PBC. Moreover, there may be no correlation between the occurrence of AIHA and the staging or progression of PBC.

The association between primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is uncommon; only fourteen such case reports have been described. In this report, three patients who developed AIHA on the basis of PBC underwent successful therapy with corticosteroids and ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA). Patient 3 was more complicated, suffering from PBC, Evans syndrome, Sjögren syndrom...

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...

Although the development of extra intestinal manifestations during the course of IBD is well known, a controlled study indicated that 6.6% of UC patients and 1.9% of CD patients had at least 1 autoimmune disorder [5]. Cases of concomitant PBC and IBD are uncommon [6-22]. In addition, cases of concomitant PBC and CD appear to be extremely rare [21,22]; however, cases of concomitant PBC and UC ha...
