This review updates understanding of autoimmune hepatitides (AIH), classifying them as typical (Type 1 or 2) or atypical. Research highlights the role of autoantibodies, genetic predisposition, and potential viral triggers in AIH development.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Immunology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Autoimmune hepatitides (AIH) are complex liver diseases.
  • Previous literature searches yielded over 1600 articles, necessitating a focused review.
  • The prevailing opinion of an international group is emphasized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update the classification and understanding of autoimmune hepatitides.
  • To emphasize the role of autoantibodies, genetic factors, and potential environmental triggers.
  • To provide a framework for future research directions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of existing research.
  • Classification of AIH into typical (Type 1 and Type 2) and atypical forms.
  • Emphasis on prevailing international expert opinions.

Main Results:

  • AIH is not a single disease entity but can be classified.
  • Typical AIH is subdivided into Type 1 (ANA/ASMA positive) and Type 2 (anti-ER positive).
  • Atypical AIH requires specific autoantibody identification; high-titer IgG autoantibodies are characteristic. Liver ribosomal antibodies (LRA) suggest virus-associated AIH.

Conclusions:

  • AIH classification requires clear identification of autoantibodies.
  • Genetic predisposition and environmental factors (e.g., viruses) are crucial in AIH pathogenesis.
  • Future research should focus on the interplay between viruses, genes, and autoimmunity in AIH.
