Keywords:
Addison-Gall's syndrome, primary biliary cirrhosis, Badd-Chiari syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis, Wilson- Konovalov's disease, eponyms, etiologyAbstract
The article presents the historical and modern conception of therapeutic liver diseases, which have eponymic names. Five liver diseases with an eponymic history are considered: Addison-Gall's syndrome (primary biliary cirrhosis), Badd-Chiari syndrome, Bearn-Kunkel syndrome (autoimmune hepatitis). The discovery of these diseases and the development of hepatology as a science are closely related to those scientists whose names were subsequently given to these diseases. The review presents a historical background as well as current information on epidemiology, etiology, developmental mechanisms, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment of the above mentioned syndromes, which can be recommended for physicians, gastroenterologists and hepatologists.
