A 34-year-old woman presents with abdominal pain and jaundice. Her liver enzymes are elevated, and her serum ceruloplasmin levels are low. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
ক
Wilson’s disease
খ
Hemochromatosis
গ
Autoimmune hepatitis
ঘ
Primary biliary cholangitis
ব্যাখ্যা
Stem Breakdown:
Abdominal pain and jaundice: These symptoms indicate liver dysfunction, which can be seen in several liver conditions. Elevated liver enzymes: suggests hepatocellular injury, as seen in liver diseases that cause inflammation or damage to hepatocytes. Low serum ceruloplasmin: This is the key finding pointing towards Wilson’s disease, a disorder of copper metabolism where ceruloplasmin (the copper-carrying protein in blood) is deficient. Option Analysis:
A) Wilson’s disease: This is the correct diagnosis. Davidson explains that Wilson’s disease is caused by a genetic defect in copper excretion, leading to copper accumulation in various tissues, including the liver and brain. Harrison adds that low ceruloplasmin levels and liver involvement are key diagnostic features, often presenting in young adults with hepatic or neuropsychiatric symptoms. B) Hemochromatosis: This is a disorder of iron overload, not copper. It leads to increased serum iron and ferritin, not ceruloplasmin. While hemochromatosis can cause liver disease, it does not present with low ceruloplasmin levels. C) Autoimmune hepatitis: Autoimmune hepatitis presents with elevated liver enzymes and positive autoantibodies (e.g., ANA, SMA), but ceruloplasmin levels are not affected. D) Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC): PBC is an autoimmune condition affecting the bile ducts, leading to cholestasis and jaundice. It is associated with elevated alkaline phosphatase and antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA), but not low ceruloplasmin.
