Abstract:
A wide variety of systemic autoimmune diseases (SAD) affects the liver, and various forms of hepatic involvement have been reported. Patients who have SAD, the abnormal liver function tests might be caused by SAD. In most of these patients, SAD should be treated primary. Liver involvement in SAD is a matter of great clinical challenge evoking several questions upon diagnostic criteria for liver diseases and the presence of overlap syndromes. This review will describe liver injury caused by various systemic autoimmune diseases.

Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
