Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZSDs) are known to present with variable hepatic manifestations ranging from benign hepatosplenomegaly and elevated liver enzymes to advanced liver cirrhosis with hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the progression of liver disease in ZSD patients over time is poorly characterized due to scarcity of the disease. Herein, we report a case of newly diagnosed liver cirrhosis in a ZSD patient with rapid progression and fatal outcome to demonstrate key clinical learning points.
已知脑肝肾综合征(ZSDs)会出现多种肝脏表现,从良性肝脾肿大和肝酶升高到伴有肝细胞癌的晚期肝硬化。然而,由于该疾病罕见,ZSD患者肝脏疾病随时间的进展情况鲜为人知。在此,我们报告一例新诊断为肝硬化的ZSD患者,其病情进展迅速并导致死亡,以展示关键的临床经验教训。
