Abstract:
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a progressive, chronic hepatitis of unknown cause. It is characterized by interface hepatitis, hypergammaglobulinaemia, circulating autoantibodies, and a favorable response to immunosuppression. This article summarizes the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of AIH and reviews recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of AIH. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can improve the prognosis.
