Abstract
Autoimmune liver disease is not common in children. In addition to autoimmune hepatitis, it also includes autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis, Giant cell hepatitis with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and de novo autoimmune hepatitis after liver transplantation as well as two acquired autoimmune liver diseases: neonatal lupus and Gestational alloimmune liver disease (alternate name neonatal hemochromatosis). The age-specific systemic developmental characteristics and immune system association determine the type of autoimmune liver disease in children, and its clinical manifestations and prognostic transition may vary from adults. Here, we discuss the rising clinical incidence of autoimmune hepatitis in children.
