A Case of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Associated with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Scleroderma and Sjoegren's Syndrome.

Abstract: A 53-year-old woman was admitted because of Raynaud's phenomenon, polyarthralgia and polymyalgia. Biopsy specimens of the liver and thyroid gland revealed characteristic findings of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) (stage I by Scheuer's classification) and chronic thyroiditis. Her clinical features were also complicated by scleroderma (type I by Barnett's classification) and Sjogren's syndrome (Sjs) with keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Thyroid hormone replacement therapy led to improvement in thyroid function, norm… Show more

“…However, the present patient's HLA type was different from the frequent DRB1 0405-DQB1 0401 haplotype observed in type 1 diabetes and AITD (5). Chronic liver disease has also been implicated as a complication of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and the term "hepatothyroiditis syndrome" has been proposed to describe this condition (6). Thyroid disease is also found in about 10-15% of patients with PBC, and AITD is the most common (7).…”

“…Esto viene corroborado por la frecuencia de agrupaciones HLA DRW3 y HLA B8 en el SS, hipotiroidismo primario, la enfermedad de Basedow y la TH (5,7). Esta asociación ha sido también englobada dentro del síndrome autoinmune múltiple (7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Por eso, es necesario investigar dicho síndrome en pacientes con enfermedad tiroidea y una historia familiar de enfermedades autoinmunes (7).…”
