Abstract

Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) is a poorly understood liver condition, which is increasingly recognized in thiopurine-treated patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). 1 It is difficult to establish an optimal approach to NRH patients, because its manifestations are highly variable (from asymptomatic to symptoms of noncirrhotic portal hypertension [NCPH]) and the prognosis is unknown. 2 The aim of this study was to identify NRH cases in IBD patients treated with azathioprine, mercaptopurine, and/or thioguanine, and to describe its clinical course.
