Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the cerebral blood flow velocity as a marker by using transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods: A total of 30 patients aged 20 to 50 with AS were enrolled in the AS group (male/female: 4/26, mean age: 34.7 ± 5.9) consecutively. The control grou...

Azathioprine (AZA) is an immunosuppressive drug that is widely used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Although AZA is used widely, many studies reported that AZA-related hepatotoxicity is rather rare. We aimed to present a case with severe cholestatic hepatitis due to AZA use for Behcet’s disease. Three weeks after starting AZA for the treat...

Objective: Iron preperations are frequently used in hemodalysis (HD) patients and iron may accumulate liver and other tissues. Noninvasively methods are needed to detect liver iron accumulation in HD patients. Hepatic iron accumulation with Fibroscan was shown in non-renal population.
