IgA Vasculitis with Underlying Liver Cirrhosis: a French Nationwide Case Series of 20 Patients.
CONCLUSION: We reported the first case series of IgAV patients with underlining cirrhosis, which was mainly alcohol-related. The liver disease did not seem to impact baseline vasculitis' characteristic. Physicians may investigate the existence of liver cirrhosis at IgAV diagnosis, especially in the context of alcohol abuse.
