In this communication we report our data on classification of liver biopsies taken from 44 psoriatic patients who had been receiving methotrexate maintenance therapy (Weinstcin regime) for long periods. In this series 4·5% showed cirrhosis and 15·9% fibrosis of the liver. There was no correlation between liver biopsy classification and either the cumulative dose or the duration of methotrexate therapy. A highly significant correlation has been shown between liver damage and the age of the patients. Accepted for publication 28 November 1984 |
