妊娠を契機に発症した原発性胆汁性肝硬変の1例

Abstract

We report a 29-year old woman who was diagnosed primary biliary cirrhosis in a pregnancy. She was admitted to our hospital because of icterus and elevated serum biliary enzyme and transarnynase. She was diagnosed primary biliary cirrhosis (Stage 1) by histological examination. Ursodeoxycholic acid was not effective in this patient. Because both serum biliary enzyme and transamynase showed high values in this patient, steroid treatment was initiated. After steroid treatment, serum biliary enzyme and transamynase activity restored in the normal values, and histological findings were greatly improved.
