Idiopathic granulomatous hepatitis is a rare medical condition characterized by granulomas in the liver, recurrent fever, myalgia , and fatigue. The condition is not a true hepatitis , and some experts believe it is a variant of sarcoidosis .[1] [2]
Signs and symptoms [ edit ]
Idiopathic granulomatous hepatitis is marked by granuloma in the liver and recurrent fevers .[3] Fatigue and weight loss are other common symptoms.[4]
Granulomas in the liver often correspond to a systemic illness that the patient had previously been diagnosed with. Liver granulomas, however, could be a symptom of an unidentified systemic illness or they might not have a discernible underlying cause.[3]
Diagnosis [ edit ]
Establishing the diagnosis can be difficult because it needs to rule out other conditions that can cause hepatic granulomas, like lymphoma , sarcoidosis , drug allergies , and infections by fungi or mycobacteria .[3]
Treatment [ edit ]
Idiopathic granulomatous hepatitis is treated with methotrexate along with additional immunosuppressive medications such as vinblastine , cyclophosphamide , and chlorambucil .[4]
