Résumé
Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) and nephropathy (IgAN) share common immunological mechanisms. Liver cirrhosis is well known to be associated with IgAN. Here, we aimed to describe the presentation and outcome of IgAV patients with underlying cirrhosis. We conducted a French nationwide retrospective study of adult patients presenting with both IgAV and cirrhosis. Baseline characteristics were compared to those of the 260 patients included in the French nationwide IgAV registry (IGAVAS). Twenty patients were included, and 7 (35%) were female. The mean ± SD age was 62.7 ± 11 years. At baseline, compared with IGAVAS patients, patients with underlying cirrhosis were older (62.7 ± 11 vs 50.1 ± 18, We report the first case series of IgAV patients with underlining cirrhosis, to our knowledge, which was mainly alcohol related. The liver disease did not seem to affect baseline vasculitis characteristics. Physicians should investigate the existence of liver cirrhosis at IgAV diagnosis, especially in the context of alcohol abuse.
