Abstract

Autoimmune cholangitis has recently been described as a rare, chronic cholestatic liver disease with clinical, biochemical, and immunological features of both primary and autoimmune hepatitis (CAH) and cholestasis with raised Ig G4 levels. In autoimmunecholangitis, increased levels ofγ- glutamyl transferase (GGT) and alkaline phophatase (AP) are disproportionate in comparison with the elevation in transaminases (AST/ALT), suggesting cholestatic liverdisease.We present a 34 year old female who presented with features of chronic hepatitis with pruritus which turned out to be Auto immune cholangitis (AIC).
