Cirrhosis of Liver in Patients With Dyskeratosis Congenita: A Report of Two Cases
Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a genetic disorder characterized by multisystem involvement. The most commonly affected systems are the mucocutaneous, bone marrow, and lungs. Though rare, chronic liver disease (CLD) has increasingly been reported to be associated with DC. The hepatic involvement can range from asymptomatic transaminasemia to end-stage liver disease. In this series, we present two cases of adult male patients with DC and decompensated CLD.
