Abstract
So far, the literature data have presented a combination of several autoimmune triggered disease
in patients, but the research is scarce and very limited. In this context we present a rare case
of autoimmune thyroiditis with a concomitant autoimmune hepatitis. Hashimoto thyroiditis
is an autoimmune disorder in which immune cells lead to impairment, destruction of the
thyroid hormone producing cells and tissue fibrosis with consecutive primary hypothyroidism.
Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic liver disease with unknown etiology, which is assumed to
be T cell mediated condition where immune cells produce autoantibodies responsible for
inflammation, destruction and fibrosis of the hepatic parenchyma. In this case report, we
discuss the possible correlation in the spectrum of autoimmune diseases concerning Hashimoto
thyroiditis and autoimmune hepatitis.
