We describe 2 women with features of autoimmune cholangitis. Serum biochemical studies showed cholestasis and increased immunoglobulin M with negative antimitochondrial antibodies. Markers of hepatitis B and C viruses were absent. Both had positive antinuclear antibodies. One had a speckled pattern (multiple nuclear dots) and the other a perinuclear pattern (pore nuclear). In the first case anti-Sp100 was positive by EIA and in the second anti-Gp210 was detected by immunoblot. Diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis was made and the patients were treated with UDCA. Current knowledge indicates that determination of anti-Sp100 and anti-Gp210 substantially improves diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis as these ANA are highly specific for this disease. These autoantibodies may lead to the classification of different groups of patient included in autoimmune cholangitis. All patients with autoimmune cholangitis should be tested for anti-Sp100 and anti-Gp210.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008105 Liver Cirrhosis, Biliary FIBROSIS of the hepatic parenchyma due to obstruction of BILE flow (CHOLESTASIS) in the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts (BILE DUCTS, INTRAHEPATIC; BILE DUCTS, EXTRAHEPATIC). Primary biliary cholangitis involves the destruction of small intra-hepatic bile ducts and decreased bile secretion. Secondary biliary cholangitis is produced by prolonged obstruction of large intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts from a variety of causes.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
