Diagnosis and treatment of liver involvement secondary to rheumatic diseases
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Hepatology - Year 2025, Vol 41, Issue 5
Abstract
Rheumatic diseases are chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases that can affect multiple organs and systems. In clinical practice， most patients with rheumatic diseases present with asymptomatic liver function abnormalities during the course of the disease， and the etiology of such diseases may be associated with the rheumatic disease itself， medications， metabolism， viruses， or the presence of other chronic liver diseases. Immune-mediated inflammatory responses play a significant role in liver involvement （including hepatocyte injury， intrahepatic vascular lesions， and hepatic fibrosis） in rheumatic diseases. This article discusses the clinical features and management of liver involvement secondary to rheumatic diseases， in order to enhance the understanding of this condition among specialists in related fields.
