Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by abdominal and chest pain and recurrent fever due to inflammation in the serosal membranes such as peritoneum, pleura and synovia. In FMF, recurrent inflammatory cytokine production may lead to cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of FMF in children with cryptogenic cirrhosis and it was found to be high, to add FMF among the etiological causes of cirrhosis.
