Challenges in Management of Autoimmune Hepatitis With Concurrent Graves Thyrotoxicosis

The management of concurrent Graves thyrotoxicosis and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) can be challenging. We present a 37-year-old woman with a recent diagnosis of Graves disease and acute liver injury. Laboratory workup was concerning for AIH. Liver biopsy showed plasma cell infiltration and interface...

description The management of concurrent Graves thyrotoxicosis and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) can be challenging. We present a 37-year-old woman with a recent diagnosis of Graves disease and acute liver injury. Laboratory workup was concerning for AIH. Liver biopsy showed plasma cell infiltration and interface hepatitis consistent with AIH, and treatment with methylprednisolone was initiated. Azathioprine was started after thiopurine methyltransferase testing, and prednisone was tapered down. Thionamide use was contraindicated, so clinical euthyroidism was achieved with the use of cholestyramine and glucocorticoids. Our case highlights the complexities of management when patients are affected by 2 concurrent illnesses.
