Abstract

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) was first reported by Professor Ian R. Mackay. Environmental factors (such as viral infection), chemical substances (including some drugs) and genetic factors (such as human leukocyte antigen-DR) are believed to participate in the pathogenesis of AIH. Because satisfactory prognosis depends upon the patient being diagnosed with AIH correctly and receiving proper therapy immediately, it isvery important to make a correct diagnosis and perform the suitable therapy as soon as possible. In this review, current topics relating to AIH diagnosis and therapy are summarized.
