Abstract

Hepatic involvement of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been considered to occur rarely. Viral hepatitis or previous treatment with potentially hepatotoxic drugs has usually been implicated as the major causes of liver diseases in patients with SLE. After careful exclusion of these etiologies, the difference between the hepatic involvement of SLE and autoimmune hepatitis is not clear due to similarities in clinical and biochemical features. We describe a 37-year-old female with SLE who simultaneously satisfied the criteria of autoimmune hepatitis.
