Cryoglobulins in patients with acute hepatitis and inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract:
Serum cryoglobulins were detected in the majority of patients with liver disease, and in all patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Their incidence in acute hepatitis was similar to that in chronic active hepatitis or cirrhosis. All patients had serum cryoglobulins in the range of 5-76 micrograms/ml, except for a subgroup of patients with acute non-B hepatitis, who had much higher levels. The predominant immunoglobulin in the cryoprecipitates was IgMK. The significance of these results is discussed and possible mechanisms for the high prevalence of cryoglobulins in liver and inflammatory bowel diseases are suggested.

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

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...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
