Abstract
|
|
|
|
Hepatobiliary involvement is a rare manifestation of Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP). HSP cases related to hepatitis A, B or C virus have been reported but little is known about HSP cases complicated by cholestatic hepatitis without underlying hepatobiliary disease. Here, we report a case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura presenting with cholestatic hepatitis. The patient presented with upper abdominal pain and cholestasis that developed characteristic purpura. The patient was treated conservatively by therapeutic fasting and nutritional support, and liver function recovered 7 weeks after admission.
