Abstract:
Autoimmune liver diseases are unique among other liver diseases mainly for its unknown pathogenesis, treatment and prognosis. Within their natural course strong correlation between clinical view and serologic markers (autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis) or X-ray image abnormalities (primary sclerocholangitis) are observed. Significant diagnostic progress, recently seen, revealed major discrepancies in diagnosing and management of classic types of the diseases, suggesting co-association of their symptoms. This review presents former and most up-to-date reports of such cases in terms of overlap syndromes.
