Overview
Common risk factors in the development of Peliosis Hepatis include certain drugs, malignancy, infections, and chronic conditions.
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of Peliosis Hepatis include certain drugs [1], malignancy, infections, and chronic conditions.
A study of Molecular Epidemiology of Bartonella Infections in Patients with Bacillary Angiomatosis–Peliosis show that peliosis hepatis was associated exclusively with B. henselae. Some chronic conditions like Kidney transplant.[2] Some chronic conditions like Kidney transplant. [3]
- Infections: HIV, Bacillary peliosis (caused by genus Bartonella, bacteria responsible for cat-scratch disease which are identified histologically adjacent to the peliotic lesions.[2]
- Chronic conditions: End stage renal failure, Kwashiorkor, tuberculosis and other chronic infections.
- Malignancy: Monoclonal gammopathies (multiple myeloma and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia), Hodgkin's disease, malignant histiocytosis, seminoma, hepatocellular adenoma and hepatocarcinoma,[4]
- Renal transplants: It can be found in up to 20% patients, can be related to azathioprine or cyclosporine use and may be associated with increased risk of transplant rejection[5][6].
- Drugs and toxins: Corticosteroids, androgens, methyltestosterone, azathioprine, tamoxifen[7]
Prognosis
Depending on if the right diagnosis was made, the prognosis may vary. Peliosis hepatis should not be drained. If mistaken for hepatic abscess and drained, it can lead to life-threatening hemorrhage. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as excellent.[8]
