Diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune hepatitis
Abstract:
Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic liver disease which, if untreated, can lead to cirrhosis of the liver and liver failure. The majority of patients respond well to standard immunosuppressive therapy, but some experience adverse effects, or lack of treatment efficacy. Diagnosis, assessment of therapeutic response and choice of second-line therapy may be challenging. This article provides a summary of updated knowledge concerning diagnosis and treatment of patients with complex autoimmune hepatitis.
