In 2015, the Chinese Society of Hepatology and Chinese Society of Gastroenterology issued the consensus on the diagnosis and management of cholestatic liver diseases. In the past years, more data have emerged from clinical practice. Herein, the Autoimmune Liver Disease Group of the Chinese Society of Hepatology organized an expert group to review the evidence and updated the recommendations to formulate the guidelines. There are 22 recommendations on clinical practice of cholestatic liver diseases. The guidelines aim to provide a working reference for the management of cholestatic liver diseases.

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP),a special type of chronic pancreatitis,is autoimmune-mediated and can be accompanied by swelling of the pancreas and irregular stenosis of the pancreatic duct. The main pathological features are fibrosis of pancreatic duct with IgG4-positive lymphoplasmacytic infiltration. Different typing methods of AIP can have differerent disease conditions. This paper reviews the history,clinical presentation,diagnostic criteria,and treatment of different AIP types to provide a new basis for the diagnosis and treatment.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare autoimmune fibrosis disease characterized by elevated serum IgG4 and tissues as well as organs infiltrated with IgG4-positive cells, resulting in swelling and damage.It is currently treated as first-line treatment with glucocorticoids. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is also a relatively rare disease that caused by autoreactive erythrocyte antibodies. Although both are autoimmune-related diseases, they rarely overlap. The relationship between them is not clear. A case of IgG4-RD combined with AIHA is reported. The patient has shortness of breath, cough, and sputum after physical activity. Physical examination showed appearance of anemia, yellow staining of skin and sclera, palpable neck and multiple swollen lymph nodes. Laboratory examination, bone marrow biopsy, and lymph node biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. Therefore, clinicians should develop ideas and raise awareness of such diseases.

In 2015, the first Chinese consensus on the diagnosis and management of primary sclerosing cholangitis was issued. In the past years, more data have emerged from the literature. Herein, the Autoimmune Liver Disease Group of the Chinese Society of Hepatology organized an expert group to review the evidence and updated the recommendations to formulate the guidelines. There are 21 recommendations on PSC clinical practice. To facilitate the differentiation between PSC and IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis, 10 recommendations on IgG4-SC are also attached. These guidelines aim to provide a working reference for the management of PSC and IgG4-SC.
