Tuberculosis is the most frequent cause of granulomatous hepatitis, a liver condition diagnosed in 51 out of 1234 biopsies. Other causes are rare, with some cases remaining undiagnosed.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Granulomatous hepatitis is a liver inflammation characterized by granulomas.
  • Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the etiological spectrum and clinical presentation of granulomatous hepatitis in a large cohort.
  • To analyze the diagnostic yield of liver biopsies for granulomatous hepatitis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 1234 liver biopsies performed over a 10-year period.
  • Identification and categorization of cases diagnosed with granulomatous hepatitis.
  • Review of clinical, laboratory, and histopathological data.

Main Results:

  • 51 cases (4.1%) of granulomatous hepatitis were identified.
  • Tuberculosis was the leading cause, accounting for 55% of cases.
  • Other identified causes included leprosy, sarcoidosis, histoplasmosis, brucellosis, amoebic liver abscess, lymphoma, and malignant granuloma.
  • 12% of cases were undiagnosed, and 6% presented as fever of unknown origin (FUO).
  • Common clinical findings were pyrexia and hepatosplenomegaly; jaundice was infrequent.
  • Laboratory findings included elevated alkaline phosphatase, anemia, and elevated ESR.

Conclusions:

  • Tuberculosis is the predominant cause of granulomatous hepatitis in this region.
  • Liver biopsy remains a valuable tool for diagnosing granulomatous hepatitis and identifying its cause.
  • A significant proportion of cases remain undiagnosed, highlighting the need for further diagnostic approaches.
