Abstract:
The research on autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) has progressed rapidly in recent years, causing a lot of clinical concerns. This article reviews the history of the understanding of AIP and the changes in the diagnostic criteria for AIP, with highlights on the new international diagnostic criteria and the diagnostic criteria for type 1 and type 2 AIP. This article also elaborates on the new advances in the treatment of AIP, from hormone therapy to the application of immunosuppressants, points out the issues which need to be considered in clinical practice, and proposes the future research directions for AIP.
