Clinical significance of autoantibodies to p53 protein in patients with autoimmune liver diseases. [PDF]
Can J Gastroenterol, 2012 Mutations in the p53 gene leading to conformational changes in the p53 protein have been well established in many human cancers. Conformational changes and/or cellular accumulation of the protein may induce an immune response, resulting in circulating autoantibodies to p53, which have been documented in several types of cancers.

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 21, Issue 12, Page 839-842, 2007., 2007 A common characteristic of all chronic liver diseases is the occurrence and progression of fibrosis toward cirrhosis. Consequently, liver fibrosis assessment plays an important role in hepatology. Besides its importance for prognosis, determining the level of fibrosis reveals the natural history of the disease and the risk factors associated with its ...

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 697-699, 2002., 2002 Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a condition of unknown etiology that causes progressive inflammation, fibrosis and obliteration of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary tree. There is no medical cure, and ursodeoxycholic acid and other drugs have not been shown to affect the natural history of the disease.

Primary Biliary Cirrhosis and Hemolytic Anemia Confusing Serum Bilirubin Levels
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 445-447, 2000., 2000 Hemolysis is observed in more than 50% of patients with cirrhosis. However, there has been little documention of the association of primary biliary cirrhosis with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Two cases, found within a single practice, of primary biliary cirrhosis coexisting with autoimmune hemolysis and a third case coexisting with hereditary ...

Prevalence of IgA Antibodies to Endomysium and Tissue Transglutaminase in Primary Biliary Cirrhosis
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 672-675, 2000., 2000 The association between celiac disease and primary biliary cirrhosis has been described in several case reports and small screening studies, with varying prevalence rates. Stored sera from 378 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis were tested for immunoglobulin (Ig) A endomysium and tissue transglutaminase antibodies.
