Abstract

The liver is an organ that is affected by both metabolic and inflammatory events in general physiognomy. Therefore, it is unthinkable not to be affected by connective tissue diseases. However, this interaction is often overlooked. This interaction can be summarized as: liver involvement due to systemic connective tissue diseases, autoimmune liver diseases and effects on the liver of drugs used in these diseases. Though it is not always possible to distinguish this triple interaction from one another, it is an important factor that should be considered in terms of the success of the treatment.

Bağ dokusu hastalıkları ve karaciğer

Abstract

Karaciğer genel fizyonomi içerisinde hem metabolik hem de inflamatuvar olaylardan etkilenen bir organdır. Dolayısıyla, bağ dokusu hastalıklarından etkilenmemesi düşünülemez. Ancak, bu etkileşim çoğu zaman göz ardı edilmektedir. Bu etkileşim: Sistemik bağ dokusu hastalıklarına bağlı karaciğerin etkilenmesi, otoimmün karaciğer hastalıkları ve bu hastalıklarda kullanılan ilaçların karaciğer üzerindeki etkileri şeklinde özetlenebilir. Her zaman bu üçlü etkileşimi bir birinden ayırt etmek mümkün olmasa da tedavinin başarısı açısından dikkat edilmesi gereken önemli bir faktördür.

Keywords
