In the investigation of six patients with giant cell arteritis and abnormal liver function radionuclide liver scans were found to be abnormal in all. The abnormality may be due to arteritis of hepatic vessels. It is important to recognise that giant cell arteritis may cause liver scan abnormalities. If other pathology is suspected and corticosteroid treatment delayed while further investigation...

Although drug-induced liver injury is common, physician awareness of specific drug reactions is often limited. Celecoxibinduced drug injury has not been widely reported. We describe the case of a 28 year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with cholestatic liver injury following 13 days of celecoxib use. We searched the literature and reviewed existing case reports of celecoxib-...

UNLABELLED Steatosis in the liver is a common feature of obesity and type 2 diabetes and the precursor to the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis, and liver failure. It has been shown previously that inhibiting glycosphingolipid (GSL) synthesis increases insulin sensitivity and lowers glucose levels in diabetic rodent models. Here we demonstrate that inhibiting GSL syn...

There has been a large increase in data on the genetic causes of iron accumulation. In addition, there is a growing body of literature on the significance of iron in liver biopsy specimens obtained for staging and grading chronic liver disease. In this review, the current literature is discussed with a focus on aspects that are most relevant to the practice of surgical pathology.

UTILITY: (1) Assess degree of fibrosis. H&E stain is not reliable for demonstration of fibrosis especially in early stages. Pericellular fibrosis around the central vein in steatohepatitis can be difficult to identify on the H&E stain. (2) Distinguish fibrosis from necrosis. In acute hepatitis, areas of confluent necrosis can be difficult to distinguish from fibrosis and can lead to an erroneou...

AIMS To investigate the histopathological changes in the livers of patients undergoing cholecystectomy and to relate these changes to the underlying biliary tract pathology. METHODS Liver changes in 67 patients undergoing cholecystectomy were investigated. Sixty three had gall stones, one cholesterolosis only, and there were three cases of acute acalculous cholecystitis. RESULTS Only 34% of...

OBJECTIVE Two methods to assess liver echogenicity were compared. METHODS Liver/kidney echogenicity ratio was measured in 41 persons with the ultrasound software and visually graded by two radiologists and a radiographer. These echogenicity ratios and grades were related to risk factors for fatty liver and to liver enzyme levels. RESULTS These determinants explained 55% of the radiologists'...
