Abstract:
Autoimmune liver diseases (AILDs),including mainly autoimmune hepatitis (AIH),primary biliary cholangitis (PBC),primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC),IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC),and overlap syndromes,are characterized by circulating autoantibodies,inflammatory liver histology,and increased level of serum immunoglobulins. Early diagnosis and management can significantly improve the prognosis of patients and their quality of life. This editorial focused on the research progress and difficulties encountered in studies on AILDs in China.
