Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a liver inflammation with varied symptoms. Diagnosis requires excluding other liver diseases, and treatment often involves immunosuppression for favorable outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Immunology
  • Internal Medicine

Context:

  • Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver inflammation affecting middle-aged women.
  • Diagnosis relies on excluding other liver diseases and identifying specific clinical and laboratory abnormalities.
  • Current diagnostic scoring systems and subtype classifications have limitations in prognosis and treatment guidance.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of autoimmune hepatitis.
  • To discuss clinical, histopathological, etiologic, genetic, biochemical, and autoimmune features.
  • To examine treatment strategies and prognosis in AIH.

Summary:

  • AIH presents with diverse histopathologic, biochemical, and autoimmune features, lacking a single diagnostic marker.
  • Potential triggers include viruses, drugs, and molecular mimicry in genetically susceptible individuals (HLA-DR3, DR4).

  • Immunosuppressive therapy, primarily corticosteroids and azathioprine, generally yields positive responses.

    • Impact:

    • This review aims to consolidate current understanding of AIH.
    • It highlights the need for further research into etiology and molecular mechanisms.
    • Improved understanding can lead to better diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic strategies for AIH patients.
