[Trouble of liver function in polymyalgia rheumatica (author's transl)].
The possible existence of liver function disease such as cholestasis during temporal arteritis or polymyalgia rheumatica has been recently discovered. Two cases are reported of cholestasis without jaundice during polymyalgia rheumatica. The altérations most frequently observed are the elevation of the alcalin phosphatases, 5' nucleotidases, gamma G.T. and the retention of BSP. The syndrome disappears by treatment as well as the rheumatologic disease. It seems to be interesting to diagnose polymyalgia rheumatica through this trouble of liver funcion.
