Liver Enzyme Elevations Within 3 Months of Diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Likelihood of Liver Disease

ABSTRACT Background: Inflammatory bowel disease–associated liver diseases (IBD‐LDs) include autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and an overlap syndrome. Prospective unbiased multicenter data regarding the frequency of IBD‐LD in patients with pediatric inflammatory bowel...

description ABSTRACT Background: Inflammatory bowel disease–associated liver diseases (IBD‐LDs) include autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and an overlap syndrome. Prospective unbiased multicenter data regarding the frequency of IBD‐LD in patients with pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are lacking. We examined early alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and γ‐glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) elevations in children diagnosed as having IBD and assessed the likelihood of IBD‐LD. Methods: Data collected from the prospective observational Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Collaborative Research Group Registry enrolling children of age 50 (odds ratio 660, P < 0.0001). Of the 29 patients with IBD‐LD, 21 had PSC, 2 had AIH, and 6 had overlap syndrome. IBD‐LD was more common in patients with ulcerative colitis and IBD‐unclassified (indeterminate colitis) than in those with Crohn disease (4% vs 0.8%, respectively, P < 0.001). Conclusions: Elevation of both ALT and GGT within 90 days after the diagnosis of IBD is associated with a markedly increased likelihood of IBD‐LD. Both ALT and GGT levels should be measured in all of the pediatric patients newly diagnosed as having IBD.
