Introduction: Liver pathology is the common extraintestinal manifestation associated with UC. According to literature data, primary sclerosing cholangitis is by far the most frequent liver disease associated with UC; autoimmune chronic hepatitis, steatosis, cryptogenic cirrhosis are not uncommon in IBD. The aim of the study was to compare the frequency and spectrum of liver pathology in patients with UC in a cohort from 1998-2000 (cohort I) and 2014-2015 (cohort II) in Moldova – a region with very unfavorable indices of morbidity and mortality from liver diseases. Materials and methods:The study was open, prospective and included 129 patients with UC (52% females, age 18-65 years) in cohort I and 230 patients (56% females, age 18-67 years) in cohort II. Diagnosis of ulcerative colitis was confirmed endoscopically and histologically. The following methods were used to diagnose liver diseases: clinical, ultrasonographic, biochemical tests, viral and immunological markers, etc. Results: Liver diseases were diagnosed in 24.8% (32) of cases in the first cohort: steatosis – 8.5% (11); chronic viral HBV infection – 7.0% (9); chronic hepatitis C – 2.3% (3); reactive and drug induced hepatitis – 6.2% (8); primary sclerosing cholangitis – 0.8 (1); bacterial cholangitis – 0.8% (1); chronic viral B cirrhosis 0.8% (1). In the second cohort, diseases of the liver were observed in 26.5% (61) of cases: steatosis – 7.0% (16), chronic viral HBV infection – 8.3% (19), including chronic hepatitis B HBV- DNA positive – 2.2% (5); chronic viral hepatitis C – 3.9% (9); reactive hepatitis – 3.0% (7); drug induced hepatitis – 0.4 % (1); autoimmune hepatitis – 0.4% (1); primary sclerosing cholangitis – 0.4 % (1); primary biliary cirrhosis – 0.4% (1); chronic viral C cirrhosis – 0.9% (2). Conclusions: A considerable number of UC patients had associated liver pathology (≈25%). No significant changes were observed in the frequency and spectrum of liver diseases in UC over 15 years. |
