Primary biliary cirrhosis and autoimmune hepatitis overlap syndrome.
Primary biliary cirrhosis and autoimmune hepatitis are chronic immune-mediated liver disorders. An overlap syndrome is now recognized with mixed biochemical, serological and histological features. We report a 55-year-old lady with overlap syndrome, which presented with jaundice, pruritus and associated renal failure. She succumbed to her illness.
