Abstract
|
|
|
|
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have a 25% to 50% incidence of abnormal findings on liver function tests. The main causes of abnormal liver function in patients with SLE are viral hepatitis, drug-induced toxic hepatitis, and fatty liver. However, hepatic involvement due to the pathogenic process of SLE is rare. In such conditions, lupus-related hepatitis must be distinguished from autoimmune hepatitis, which is a type of primary liver disease characterized by similar clinical manifestations and autoimmune profiles. Relationships between hepatic involvement of SLE and autoimmune hepatitis remain to be elucidated. We report a case of lupus-related hepatitis mimicking autoimmune hepatitis.
