Abstract

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) encompasses two entities, Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), which are chronic, recurrent, immune-mediated inflammatory diseases that, although affect the gut, may be accompanied by extraintestinal hepatobiliary manifestations in 5% of the cases. Among them, the most frequent are non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), cholelithiasis, primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), IgG4-related cholangitis, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), AIH/PSC overlap syndrome, as well as drug-induced liver injury (DILI); and other less frequent such as primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), portal vein thrombosis, liver abscesses, granulomatous hepatitis, hepatitis B and C, reactivation of hepatitis B due to different drugs, and amyloidosis. These hepatobiliary manifestations present with a pathophysiology similar or even the same as that of IBD, where several factors participate, including the innate and adaptive immune system, an interaction with the components of the microbiota, leaky gut, genetic risk factors (common for both IBD and hepatobiliary manifestations) and environmental triggers. The first manifestation of a hepatobiliary disorder is the alteration of the liver profile; therefore, the diagnostic approach should be aimed at evaluating and monitoring liver enzymes and their association with some differential pattern of hepatocellular or cholestatic changes, in order to make appropriate decisions regarding the suspension or modification of any medication, or any other approach that prevents or delays the evolution of hepatobiliary disease, and at the same time guarantees control of IBD, improving the prognosis of these patients.
