Overview

Epidemiology and Demographics

The epidemiology of Peliosis hepatis is not completely understood, Peliosis Hepatis is usually asymptomatic, thus most cases go undiagnonised. ^[1]

Multiple studies associate Peliosis Hepatis with pulmonary tuberculosis, carcinomatosis, HIV infection, aplastic anemia treated with anabolic steroids, systemic lupus erythematosus treated with high-dose glucocorticoids, and patients who underwent renal transplantation. ^[2].

The prevalence was 0.2 percent in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis
Five cases of PH were observed in a study of 17,000 patients with HIV infection
The prevalence ranged from 0 to 22 percent in patients who underwent renal transplantation. ^[3]
