Abstract:
Autoimmune liver diseases mainly include autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and overlap syndrome. Patients with IBD are usually complicated by autoimmune liver diseases. We described a rare case of UC complicated by AIH-PBC-PSC overlap syndrome. The male patient had a long history of UC. After admitted to hospital, the patient was found to have abnormal liver function, and was diagnosed with AIH-PBC-PSC overlap syndrome by liver puncture biopsy. This case will help us learn more about patients who are confirmed with IBD complicated by autoimmune liver diseases.

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...

01:17Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
