The overall objective of this proposal is to conduct a systematic approach to dissect both genetic underpinnings and nongenetic factors in the development of adult autoimmune liver diseases including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), overlap AIH with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (AIH-PBC), overlap AIH with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (AIH-PSC), and drug-induced autoimmune-like hepatitis …
We would like to collect approximately 12 ml of blood from 200 subjects diagnosed with PBC. The blood will be separated into plasma and serum and then placed in aliquots and frozen. The samples will be used in the future for PBC research.
We would like to collect approximately 12 ml of blood from 400 subjects diagnosed with PSC. The blood will be separated into plasma and serum and then placed in aliquots and frozen. The samples will be use in the future for PSC research.
This is an observational study of patients with PSC to address knowledge gaps in the clinical presentation, natural history, epidemiology, progression, and outcomes.
WHY IS THIS STUDY BEING DONE?Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is liver inflammation that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks liver cells. It is caused by an overactive immune system, and it is unknown why this happens. The Autoimmune Hepatitis Association (AIHA) is a not-for-profit organization seeking to develop a patient …
Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic liver disease that lacks treatment options short of liver transplantation. This is secondary to rarity of the disease and poor understanding of the disease pathogenesis. We are participating in a multi-center study collecting PSC patients clinical and biological information along with genetic analysis …
What is this study about?One of the most common symptoms reported by people with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is fatigue (tiredness and lack of energy). The impact of fatigue on quality of life is substantial and the role that diet plays in the amount of fatigue is unknown. The purpose of …
The purpose of this study is to create a resource of biospecimens (bodily fluids/samples) from people with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) and to use these samples for current and future research relating to PSC.
The purpose of the study is assess treatment outcomes in people who are taking rituximab as treatment for autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). The treatment itself is not part of the study.
