Manifest hyperthyroidism in patient with autoimmune hepatitis (clinical observation)

Abstract

Among patients with autoimmune hepatitis concomitant autoimmune diseases occur in 40 % of cases. The most commonly associated autoimmune hepatitis is primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis and thyroid disease. With regard to the association of autoimmune liver diseases with each other there is experience in management and this is reflected in the clinical guidelines. Information on the features of comorbidity in autoimmune hepatitis and autoimmune thyroid diseases is very limited. This article presents our own clinical observation of the manifestation of thyrotoxicosis against the background of autoimmune hepatitis.
