Overlap syndromes 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
In hepatology, the term overlap syndrome describes variant forms of the major hepatobiliary autoimmune diseases, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Patients with overlap syndromes present with both hepatitic and cholestatic biochemical and histological features of AIH, PBC, and/or PSC, and usually show a progressive course toward liver cirrhosis and liver failure without adequate treatment. AIH-PBC overlap syndromes have been reported in almost 10% of adults with AIH or PBC, whereas AIH-PSC overlap syndromes were found in 6 to 8% of children, adolescents, and young adults with AIH or PSC. A minority of patients may also show transition from stable PBC to AIH, AIH to PBC, or AIH to PSC, as documented by single case reports and small case series. Single cases of AIH and autoimmune cholangitis (antimitochondrial antibody-negative PBC) overlap have also been reported. Empiric medical treatment of AIH-PBC and AIH-PSC overlap syndromes includes anticholestatic therapy with ursodeoxycholic acid and immunosuppressive therapy with corticosteroids and azathioprine. In end-stage disease, liver transplantation is the treatment of choice. 相似文献

Overlap syndromes among autoimmune liver diseases 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The three major immune disorders of the liver are autoimmune hepatitis(AIH),primary biliary cirrhosis(PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC).Variant forms of these diseases are generally called overlap syndromes,although there has been no standardised definition.Patients with overlap syndromes present with both hepatitic and cholestatic serum liver tests and have histological features of AIH and PBC or PSC.The AIH-PBC overlap syndrome is the most common form,affecting almost 10% of adults with AIH or PBC.Single cases of AIH and autoimmune cholangitis(AMA-negative PBC) overlap syndrome have also been reported.The AIH-PSC overlap syndrome is predominantly found in children,adolescents and young adults with AIH or PSC.Interestingly,transitions from one autoimmune to another have also been reported in a minority of patients,especially transitions from PBC to AIH-PBC overlap syndrome.Overlap syndromes show a progressive course towards liver cirrhosis and liver failure without treatment.Therapy for overlap syndromes is empiric,since controlled trials are not available in these rare disorders.Anticholestatic therapy with ursodeoxycholic acid is usually combined with immunosuppressive therapy with corticosteroids and/or azathioprine in both AIH-PBC and AIH-PSC overlap syndromes.In end-stage disease,liver transplantation is the treatment of choice. 相似文献

Conditions exhibiting features of two different autoimmune liver diseases are commonly designated overlap syndromes, although there is no current agreement on what constitutes an overlap syndrome or specific diagnostic criteria. As in the classic autoimmune liver diseases, such as autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), the etiology is unknown but presumed to be related to alterations of immune regulation. Distinction of these clinical entities is important for management as outcomes may differ from outcomes of patients with diagnosis of classic autoimmune liver diseases. Due to their presumed rarity, no large therapeutic trials are available and treatment of overlap conditions is empirical and based upon extrapolation of data from the primary autoimmune liver diseases. PBC–AIH overlap is the most frequently described overlap syndrome and may be associated with a poor prognosis. This may represent an important and unrecognized cause of resistance to ursodeoxycholic acid in patients with PBC. PSC–AIH overlap is less commonly reported. Prognosis may be better than in patients with PSC alone; however, worse than in patients with AIH alone. Further studies are needed for determining diagnosis, natural history and optimal therapeutic strategies of overlap syndromes of autoimmune liver disease. 相似文献

"Overlap syndromes" have been reported among various autoimmune liver diseases, particularly between primary biliary cirrhosis and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in adults and between AIH and autoimmune cholangitis in children. The overlap syndrome of AIH and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), however, has been scarcely reported. Furthermore, in most of the reported cases of AIH/PSC overlap syndrome, PSC and AIH were believed to occur simultaneously. We report a case of a 34-year-old woman who has ulcerative colitis and PSC (diagnosed by colonoscopy, histology, and cholangiogram) and 7 years later develops rapidly progressive liver failure and hemolytic anemia from AIH. Liver biopsy showed dense portal lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with interface hepatitis and acidophil bodies confirming AIH. She responded well to immunosuppressive therapy with steroids, both with respect to her liver disease and her autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Additionally, her clinical symptoms of fatigue, jaundice, and pruritus improved markedly and quickly. Overlap or "crossover" syndrome should be considered in all patients with PSC when they present with sudden deterioration of the liver function and changes in liver enzymes. By making the diagnosis of AIH in a patient with well-established PSC, appropriate treatment can be initiated, resulting in the patient's prompt recovery. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: There is limited information on the prevalence of autoimmune liver disease in nonwhite populations. We conducted a population-based study on the prevalence of autoimmune liver diseases in Alaska natives. METHODS: Clinical records from 1984 to July, 2000 were reviewed to identify Alaska natives with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis, autoimmune cholangitis, and overlap syndromes of two of the above. AIH was defined as definite or probable, based on criteria established by the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group. The diagnosis of PBC was based on a positive antimitochondrial antibody of > or = 1: 40, biochemical evidence of cholestasis, and compatible liver biopsy. Autoimmune cholangitis was defined as PBC but without a positive antimitochondrial antibody. Primary sclerosing cholangitis was diagnosed on the basis of cholangiogram. RESULTS: Seventy-seven patients with possible autoimmune liver disease were identified. Of these, 42 had definite and seven probable AIH. At presentation, 34.7% of patients with AIH presented with acute icteric hepatitis, and 65.3% were asymptomatic. Persons presenting with mild or no symptoms were more likely to have moderate to severe fibrosis on liver biopsy than those presenting with jaundice. Eighteen persons were diagnosed with PBC, five with autoimmune cholangitis, five with overlap syndrome, and none with primary sclerosing cholangitis. The combined point prevalence of AIH Alaska natives was 42.9/100,000 (95% CI = 31-57.7). The prevalence of PBC was 16/100,000 (95% CI = 12.9-25.4). CONCLUSIONS: This population-based study demonstrates that the prevalence rates of AIH and PBC in Alaska natives are comparable with reported rates in other populations. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The prevalence and spectrum of autoimmune liver diseases (AILDs) in India are rarely reported in comparison to the West. METHOD: During a study period of 7 years, all patients with chronic liver diseases (CLDs) were evaluated for the presence of AILDs on the basis of clinical, biochemical, imaging, serological, and histological characteristics. RESULTS: Of a total of 1760 CLD patients (38.1% females), 102 patients (5.7%) had an AILD. A total of 75 (11.2%) female patients had an AILD. Among males, 27 (2.4%) had an AILD. The prevalence of AILDs in women increased from 11.2% to 45.7% and in men from 2.4% to 10.3%, after excluding alcohol, hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus as a cause of CLD. Of the AILDs, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) was present in 79 patients (77.4%), followed in descending order by primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) in 10 patients (9.8%), PBC/AIH true overlap syndrome in six patients (5.8%), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) in five patients (4.9%), and PBC/AIH switchover syndrome in two patients (1.9%). None had PSC/AIH or PBC/PSC overlap syndrome. Associated known autoimmune diseases were found in 40 (39.2%) patients. CONCLUSIONS: AILDs are not uncommon in India. They should be suspected in all cases of CLDs, especially in middle-aged women who do not have problems with alcoholism and who are without viral etiology, as well as in all patients with known autoimmune diseases. 相似文献

Some patients present with overlapping features between disorders within the spectrum of autoimmune liver diseases (i.e. autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)) and are commonly classified as having an "overlap syndrome". Standardized definitions of "overlap syndromes" are lacking. The aim of this report by the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group (IAIHG) is to evaluate if there are important reasons to classify conditions with overlapping features between autoimmune liver diseases as separate diagnostic entities. Definition of diagnostic criteria for overlap conditions can only be arbitrary. The IAIHG scoring system for diagnosis of AIH has been widely used to diagnose "overlap syndromes", but was not intended for such use and has not proven to be an efficient tool for this purpose. Some patients with overlapping features between a cholestatic and hepatitic disorder appear to benefit from treatment with a combination of ursodeoxycholic acid and immunosuppressants, but this strategy is not evidence-based, and it seems unjustified to define new diagnostic groups in this regard. The IAIHG suggests that patients with autoimmune liver disease should be categorized according to the predominating feature(s) as AIH, PBC, and PSC/small duct PSC, respectively, and that those with overlapping features are not considered as being distinct diagnostic entities. The IAIHG scoring system should not be used to establish subgroups of patients. Patients with PBC and PSC with features of AIH should be considered for immunosuppressive treatment. Due to the low prevalence of such "overlap syndromes", prospective interventional therapeutic trials cannot be expected in the foreseeable future. 相似文献

Development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with autoimmune liver disease is less common than in those with other types of chronic liver disease. Here we report a rare case of overlap syndrome consisting of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) that was subsequently complicated with HCC. A 72-year-old man was initially diagnosed as being in the cirrhotic stage of AIH on the basis of blood chemistry tests and histological examinations. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiography 20?months later showed diffuse stricturing of the intrahepatic bile duct with dilatation of the areas between the strictures, compatible with the findings of PSC, which resulted in a diagnosis of AIH/PSC overlap syndrome. The level of serum protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist II increased 22?months later, and HCC was diagnosed by radiological examinations. Four cycles of transarterial infusion therapy with cisplatin were performed, but the patient died one?year later. Sequential overlap of PSC may have played a part in accelerating AIH disease progression, leading to the development of HCC in this patient. Therefore, HCC surveillance may be important in advanced stages of autoimmune disease, especially in the cirrhotic stage. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Traditionally, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are regarded as separate disease entities. We report on a group of patients that suggests the existence of an overlap syndrome of the two conditions and on the prevalence of this syndrome among patients with PSC. Furthermore, the impact of the recently revised AIH scoring system for diagnosing AIH in this context was assessed. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of consecutive patients of a tertiary referral centre for liver disease with a diagnosis of PSC. RESULTS: Diagnosis of the overlap syndrome was established for nine patients (8%) of a total group of 113 PSC patients. Four patients initially presented with features of AIH and in five cases PSC was diagnosed first. All patients responded to immunosuppressive therapy; in three cases long-term remission was achieved. Three patients underwent liver transplantation after 4 months and 7 and 9 years, respectively. The original and revised versions of the AIH scoring system gave essentially the same results in the patients with the PSC-AIH overlap syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with overlapping features of AIH and PSC may be more common than is currently assumed. Recognition of this syndrome is of clinical significance, considering the important therapeutical consequences. 相似文献

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) each account for approximately 5% of liver transplants per year performed in the United States and Europe. Even though outcomes are excellent, with reported 5-year patient and graft survival exceeding 90% and 80%, 80% and 75%, 72% and 65% for PBC, PSC, and AIH, respectively, the issue of recurrent autoimmune liver disease after orthotopic liver transplantation is increasingly recognized as a cause of graft dysfunction, death, and need for retransplantation. This article reviews diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes of recurrent PBC, PSC, and AIH after liver transplantation. 相似文献

The term 'overlap syndromes of liver diseases' includes coexistence of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Due to their unknown etiology, as well as their variable presentation with mixed clinical and biochemical features, these overlap syndromes are often a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for hepatologists. The most frequent association reported occurs between AIH and PBC. More rare is the overlap between AIH and PSC, typical in young age and often concomitant with an inflammatory bowel disease as ulcerative colitis. The treatment of choice is based on ursodeoxycholic acid and immunosoppressive drugs, used at the same time or consecutively, according to the course of disease. Histological examination seems an important tool, but often does not help for a correct diagnosis due to lack of specificity. Two particular forms of variant syndrome are the so called outlier syndromes, without clear characteristics of overlap: the autoimmune cholangitis, probably a form of PBC anti-mitochondrial antibodies negative, and the hepatitis C virus related with stigmata of autoimmunity, such as nonspecific autoantibodies at low titer. The diagnostic score system elaborated in 1999 by the International AIH Group can help for diagnosis, even if its definite validity is lacking. 相似文献

Primary biliary cirrhosis(PBC),primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC) and autoimmune hepatitis(AIH) constitute the classic autoimmune liver diseases(AILDs).While AIH target the hepatocytes,in PBC and PSC the targets of the autoimmune attack are the biliary epithelial cells.Persistent liver injury,associated with chronic AILD,leads to un-resolving inflammation,cell proliferation and the deposition of extracellular matrix proteins by hepatic stellate cells and portal myofibroblasts.Liver cirrhosis,and the resultant loss of normal liver function,inevitably ensues.Patients with cirrhosis have higher risks or morbidity and mortality,and that in the decompensated phase,complications of portal hypertension and/or liver dysfunction lead to rapid deterioration.Accurate diagnosis and monitoring of cirrhosis is,therefore of upmost importance.Liver biopsy is currently the gold standard technique,but highly promising non-invasive methodology is under development.Liver transplantation(LT) is an effective therapeutic option for the management of endstage liver disease secondary to AIH,PBC and PSC.LT is indicated for AILD patients who have progressed to end-stage chronic liver disease or developed intractable symptoms or hepatic malignancy;in addition,LT may also be indicated for patients presenting with acute liver disease due to AIH who do not respond to steroids. 相似文献

BACKGROUND:Autoantibodies to p53 (anti-p53) are rarely present in the sera of patients with autoimmune diseases or the sera of patients with malignancies.OBJECTIVE:To examine the prevalence of anti-p53 in patients with autoimmune liver disease including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), AIH/PBC overlap syndrome (AIH/PBC OS) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and to determine the clinical significance of anti-p53 in autoimmune liver diseases.METHODS:Forty patients with AIH, 41 patients with PBC, eight patients with AIH/PBC OS and five patients with PSC were enrolled. Anti-p53 and antibodies to double-stranded DNA (anti-ds-DNA) were analyzed using commercially available ELISA kits. Demographic, laboratory and histological data were compared between the AIH groups seropositive and seronegative for anti-p53.RESULTS:Six of 40 (15.0%) patients with AIH and four of eight (50.0%) patients with AIH/PBC OS were positive for anti-p53. One of 41 (2.4%) patients with PBC was also positive for anti-p53, but all five patients with PSC were negative, indicating a significantly higher prevalence of anti-p53 in patients with AIH or AIH/PBC OS compared with patients with PBC. None of the AIH patients positive for anti-p53 progressed to hepatic failure or relapsed after immunosuppressive treatment. Titres of anti-ds-DNA in patients with AIH and AIH/PBC OS significantly correlated with titres of anti-p53 (r=0.511; P=0.0213).CONCLUSION:The emergence of anti-p53 is likely to be useful for discriminating AIH or AIH/PBC OS from PBC and helpful for predicting favourable prognoses in patients with AIH. DNA damage may trigger the production of anti-p53 in patients with AIH or AIH/PBC OS. 相似文献
