Nodular Regenerative Hyperplasia of the liver in Juvenile Dermatomyositis.

It is difficult to recognize NRH in JDM, as it often presents with elevated transaminases which may be mistaken for JDM muscle flare, corticosteroid-related fatty liver, or medication-related transaminitis. NRH has been associated with several medications used to treat JDM, including methotrexate, azathioprine, and cyclophosphamide, which should be discontinued if NRH develops. Providers should consider NRH in JDM patients with severe, refractory disease who have persistently elevated transaminases and persistent thrombocytopenia.
