One of the major complications following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the occurrence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The liver is a target organ in both acute and chronic GVHD. Histologically, there are two distinct forms of hepatic involvement by GVHD, namely cholestatic (classical) and hepatic. Autoimmune-like hepatitis has been reported as a late complication of HCT with some considering it to be a variant of hepatic GVHD. However, there are no reports of hepatic form of GVHD and autoimmune-like hepatitis in the same patient post-HCT. Herein, we report a patient who initially developed hepatic GVHD followed by autoimmune-like hepatitis.
造血细胞移植(HCT)后的主要并发症之一是移植物抗宿主病(GVHD)的发生。肝脏是急性和慢性GVHD的靶器官。组织学上,GVHD导致肝脏受累有两种不同形式,即胆汁淤积性(经典型)和肝型。自身免疫性肝炎已被报道为HCT的晚期并发症,一些人认为它是肝GVHD的一种变体。然而,尚无HCT后同一患者出现肝型GVHD和自身免疫性肝炎的报道。在此,我们报告一名患者,其最初发生肝GVHD,随后出现自身免疫性肝炎。
