| Abstract |
| A 50-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed
as having rheumatoid arthritis (RA) 7 months earlier, was admitted
to
our hospital
because of liver dysfunction. Her laboratory data and histological
findings satisfied the criteria for autoimmune hepatitis (AIH)
as revised by the International AIH Group. Laboratory examinations
(indirect immunofluorescence and immunoblotting analyses) revealed
that anti-Golgi complex antibodies (AGA) were positive in her
serum. AGA are thought to be closely associated with AIH and/or
liver dysfunction according to several reports. |
