COVID-19-associated secondary sclerosing cholangitis – A case series of 4 patients - 24/11/22
Abstract |
We report a case series of four patients diagnosed with COVID-19-associated secondary sclerosing cholangitis (SSC), a recently described rare late complication of severe COVID-19. Following prolonged stays in the intensive care unit, these patients developed marked sustained cholestasis and jaundice despite clinical improvement. Cholangiography showed beaded appearance of intra-hepatic bile ducts and bile casts were removed in one patient. None of the patients reached normalization of liver enzymes and at least one progressed to liver cirrhosis (follow-up time of 11 to 16 months). COVID-19-associated SSC has a dismal prognosis with rapid progression to advanced chronic liver disease.
