Diseases of an autoimmune nature are well recognized in association with primary biliary cirrhosis. Although autoimmune thyroiditis and many rheumatological conditions are well described in primary biliary cirrhosis, autoimmune haematological diseases have been less well reported. We report on a 66 year old North American Indian man with coincident primary biliary cirrhosis and warm antibody haemolytic anaemia. This case report supports the suggestion of an association between autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and primary biliary cirrhosis.

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.

D005938 Glucocorticoids A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system.
