Abstract:
Autoimmune liver disease is predominantly characterized by autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cholangitis. In clinical practice, patients with autoimmune liver disease may progress to cirrhosis and subsequently develop multiple complications of decompensated cirrhosis, such as ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. However, spontaneous hepatic rupture hemorrhage in patients with autoimmune liver disease is exceedingly rare. This article presents a case of presumed spontaneous hepatic rupture hemorrhage in a patient with autoimmune hepatitis-primary biliary cholangitis overlap syndrome and cirrhosis. Through multidisciplinary evaluation, conservative management was selected, achieving successful hemostasis. This report aims to provide a reference for the clinical recognition and management of such rare complications.

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...
