The association between ulcerative colitis and chronic liver disease at Tygerberg Hospital. 1982

J G Perold, and D J Bezuidenhout, and T D Erasmus, and B D Middlecote

Twenty consecutive patients with ulcerative colitis were evaluated at the Gastro-intestinal Clinic, Tygerberg Hospital, with special reference to the biochemical tests and histological findings in the liver. Abnormal liver function tests warrant a liver biopsy, since the underlying liver disease influences the subsequent prognosis and treatment.
