    Techniques in coloproctology·2023

    This study investigated liver changes in hyperthyroid patients, finding reactive hepatitis in some and vacuolated hepatocyte nuclei in many. Microscopic liver findings were generally unspecific and unrelated to biochemical markers.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Hepatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Hyperthyroidism is a condition of excessive thyroid hormone production.
    • Liver involvement can occur in hyperthyroid patients, but histomorphologic changes are not well-characterized.
    • Previous studies have suggested potential links between thyroid dysfunction and liver abnormalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate histomorphologic changes in the liver of untreated hyperthyroid patients.
    • To assess the correlation between liver biopsy findings and biochemical markers in hyperthyroidism.

    Main Methods:

    • Menghini liver needle biopsy was performed on 42 non-selected, untreated hyperthyroid patients.
    • Histomorphologic changes in liver tissue were examined microscopically.

  • Biochemical findings were compared with histopathologic results.

    • Main Results:

    • Reactive hepatitis was observed in 8 out of 42 patients (approximately 19%).
    • Vacuolated nuclei in hepatocytes were noted in about 40% of cases, a finding previously associated with diabetes mellitus.
    • Microscopic liver findings were generally unspecific and lacked significant pathological value.
    • No positive correlation was found between histomorphologic liver findings and biochemical markers of hyperthyroidism.

    Conclusions:

    • Liver biopsy in hyperthyroid patients can reveal non-specific changes like reactive hepatitis and vacuolated hepatocyte nuclei.
    • These histomorphologic findings do not appear to correlate with biochemical markers of hyperthyroidism.
    • Further research may be needed to elucidate the clinical significance of these liver changes in hyperthyroidism.
