Interactions of the endocrine and

The role of hormones in the sexual

dimorphism in autoimmunity

Ngo St et al, Front Neuroendocrinol 2015

A considerable number of sex- and immune-

related genes are located within the X

chromosome

Major disorders of X chromosome, such as X-

linked immunodeficiencies, Turner’s syndrome,

as well as premature ovarian failure, may be

accompanied by autoimmune features and

cholestasis

• AIH is an non-resolving chronic

liver disease that occurs in both

sexes but affects mainly women

• The incidence of AIH is

increasing

Endoscopic surveillance of PSC-associated IBD

ESGE/EASL CPG Endoscopy in PSC. J Hepatol 2017;66:1265–81

• Risk of CRC in PSC-associated IBD makes it crucial to perform

a full ileocolonoscopy at the time of PSC diagnosis in all patients

– Follow-up based on findings

• Endoscopic surveillance of PSC-associated colitis is presumed to increase the chance of

early detection of dysplasia or malignancy

Recommendations

Screening ileocolonoscopy at PSC diagnosis is

recommendedStrong High

If IBD is documented endoscopically or histologically, annual

surveillance colonoscopies are warrantedStrong Low

If no IBD is documented, consider next ileocolonoscopy at 5 years

or whenever bowel complaints suggestive of IBD occurWeak Low

Ileocolonoscopy with four-quadrant biopsies from all colonic

segments and the terminal ileum is recommendedStrong Low

Ileocolonoscopy with dye-based chromoendoscopy with

targeted biopsies is recommended for dysplasia surveillance

of

PSC-associated IBD

Strong Low

Strength of recommendation Quality of evidence

Shah SC et al, Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2018

• Longitudinal study in Netherland and UD in patients who underwent more that 2 surveillancecolonoscopy

• Investigation on factors associated with advenced colo-rectal cancer

The rate of colo-rectal neoplasia following the diagnosisof low grade dysplasia was significantly higher in patients with PSC-IBD than patients with IBD alone
