Summary
Polymyalgia arteritica commonly causes abnormal liver function tests. This study identifies giant cell arteritis affecting hepatic arteries as a potential cause for these liver abnormalities.
Area of Science:
- Rheumatology
- Hepatology
- Vascular Pathology
Background:
- Abnormalities in liver function tests are frequently observed in patients with polymyalgia arteritica.
- The specific liver pathology responsible for these abnormalities remains poorly understood.
