Co-existence of primary biliary cirrhosis and ulcerative colitis

Abstract A sixty-four years old female patient who had ulcerative colitis for 7 years ago and still under treatment was admitted to the clinic for her refractory pruritus. Laboratory tests revealed elevated liver function tests. Anti-mitochondrial antibody was positive. Her liver biopsy was consistent with primary biliary cirrhosis showing infiltration of portal areas with lymphocytes and histiocytes and convenient treatment was initiated. We present this case report because of the rare co-existence of ulcerative colitis and primary biliary cirrhosis. Keywords: Ulcerative colitis, primary biliary cirrhosis Ozet Altmis dort yasinda, yedi yil once ulseratif kolit tanisi konan ve halen tedavisi devam etmekte olan kadin hasta gecmeyen kasinti semptomu ile klinige kabul edildi.
