Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP), a rare lung condition, can present with elevated liver enzymes. Corticosteroid treatment effectively resolved symptoms in two patients, indicating a potential therapeutic response.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is an uncommon idiopathic respiratory condition.
  • BOOP typically presents with cough, pulmonary infiltrates, and intra-alveolar fibrosis.

Observation:

  • Two patients, a 45-year-old male and a 70-year-old female, were diagnosed with BOOP.
  • Both patients exhibited elevated liver enzymes concurrently with their respiratory symptoms.

Findings:

  • Corticosteroid therapy was administered to both individuals.
  • Complete clinical recovery was observed in both patients following corticosteroid treatment.

Implications:

  • This case series suggests a potential link between BOOP and elevated liver enzymes.

  • Corticosteroids appear to be an effective treatment for BOOP, even in cases with concurrent liver enzyme abnormalities.
